-->'''Sonny''': Is being married always so miserable?
-->'''Sam the Lion''': Not really. About eighty percent of the time, I guess.

* BittersweetEnding: Pretty close to a DownerEnding. Sonny loses Jacy, who honestly was really not that interested in the first place and used him as a tool to piss off her parents. Duane leaves for the army. The DyingTown gets that much closer to dead as the movie theater closes. And poor Billy is struck and killed in the street by a truck. The only thing that leavens the ending somewhat is the reconciliation between Sonny and Ruth at the end, with her taking his hand and saying "Never you mind."
** In a meta sense Hank Williams features very prominently in the movie soundtrack, but he died at the age of 29 just a few months after the events of the movie.

Playing Gertrude is now a disambig


* PlayingGertrude: Borderline case with Ellen Burstyn being 17 years and 3 months older than Cybill Shepherd, though the film establishes that Lois was fairly young (22) when she gave birth to Jacy.
