Breezy
Danny Peary in his book "Guide for the Film Fanatic" (1987) states "not many people paid attention to the film upon release" while Richard Schickel in his book "Clint: A Retrospective" (2012) states that this movie in theaters "came and went virtually without notice". In a later interview, Eastwood would blame Universal for not marketing this film correctly, leading it to be a flop at the box office - even with its relatively low budget of only $750,000.,When Frank takes Breezy to the Pacific Ocean so she can see it for the first time, it is early morning. When they arrive, the sun is clearly behind the ocean, casting shadows onto the beach, not away from it, so the scene was shot at sunset, not sunrise. In the next scene, Breezy is seen in bright sunlight with the sun high in the sky.,Breezy: Who says a rolling stone gathers no nails? Boy, am I glad to see you. I didn't think anyone was alive up here. You going down the hill?
Frank Harmon: Well, yes, but, uh...
Breezy: Far out! Ooh!
Frank Harmon: Miss, uh, I don't pick up hitchhikers.
Breezy: That's the best news I've heard all day.,Referenced in The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: Orson Welles/Orson Bean/Carol Lawrence/Kay Lenz (1976),Breezy's Song

Vocal by Shelby Flint,I have to echo some of the other comments here and say that this great film SHOULD BE RE-RELEASED ON VHS AND DVD!! ARE you listening Mr Eastwood??! A wonderful cross generational love story that doesn't ring a false note, I'm glad I was able to find a copy of the unedited for TV version since I've only seen a TV edited version some years ago and it stuck in my head....it's that good a film and I recommend it to all!,
