Details

• Release Year: 1983
• Genre: Comedy; Drama; Romance
• Plot: Rosanna Arquette (“After Hours”) and Vincent Spano (“Rumble Fish”) star in writer/director John Sayles’ romantic drama, “Baby It’s You.” Set in 1966 New Jersey, middle-class high school senior Jill (Arquette) finds herself inexplicably drawn to a suave, blue-collar bad boy (and aspiring singer) known as “The Sheik” (Spano). Exuding mystery and danger, “The Sheik” woos Jill until she succumbs to his charms, which baffles her friends and horrifies her parents and teachers. Baby It’s You recounts the ups and downs of the lead characters from young love to hook-ups and break-ups to college life and the toll of unfulfilled dreams. With his extraordinary ear for dialog, John Styles (“Lone Star,” “ Eight Men Out,” “Return of the Secaucus Seven”) fashions a period piece with contemporary relevance. Featured in supporting roles are Tracy Pollan (TV’s “Family Ties”), Matthew Modine (“Full Metal Jacket”) and Fisher Stevens (“Short Circuit”).
