Back Roads (1981 film)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Back Roads is a 1981 comedy starring Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones. It is directed by Martin Ritt. It got middling reviews and grossed $11 million at the box office.

It has been reported that Field and Jones disliked one another intensely. Director Ritt reportedly said later that he regretted not being able to make this film work, blaming its failure on both the script and the stars' inability to get along.
