Real Place Background | |
A Girl Named Sooner / int_20152e12 | comment |
Real-Place Background: Vevay, Indiana is a real place along the southern border of Indiana, and the movie was filmed in and around it. It's mentioned by name as the location the film takes place in the Sheriff's office early in the movie. The creek scenes were filmed along Indian Creek. The bridge Sooner plays near at the beginning of the film was slated for destruction, but was kept up so it could be filmed. The river you often see in the background in many scenes is the Ohio. | |

My Biological Clock Is Ticking: Alluded to with Elizabeth. It's never said why she was in the hospital, but it seems she had a miscarriage or lost a baby, and that's why she is in such a deep depression at the beginning of the movie. | |
