Directed by: Nancy Savoca
Genre: Drama
Duration: 1 hr 26 min
Starring: River Phoenix and Lili Taylor.
Set in San Francisco in 1963, this highly original and thought-provoking drama chronicles the brief relationship between a young Marine who is about to be shipped out to Vietnam and a rather plain aspiring folk singer who teaches him a few important lessons about life and the treatment of women.
Eddie Birdlace (Phoenix, Silent Tongue, Running On Empty) and his buddies want to celebrate their last night of freedom before sailing off to war. They decide to rent a bar and hold a “dogfight,” a contest in which they compete to find the ugliest date.
The winner will get all the other soldiers’ money. Not pausing to think that the whole contest is cruel and degrading to women, Phoenix sets off to find himself the ugliest girl. He meets waitress Rose (Taylor, The Notorious Betty Page, Six Feet Under). A sensitive girl who listens to folk music, writes poetry, and is an aspiring singer, she isn’t really that interested in Eddie, but out of pity agrees to be his date.
Unfortunately, as they get to know each other, he begins to have a prick of conscience. Still they go to the party. When she learns the truth, she is angry and leaves. Now genuinely sorry, he takes off after her to try and make amends.
