Disappeared Dad | |
| Author! Author! (1982) / int_28cd01ca | comment |
Disappeared Dad: While the main plot deals with a newly Missing Mom, the film deals with the repercussions on children with quite a few Disappeared Dads, as well. Spike's dad is a professional baseball player and Geraldo's father lives in Spain. Neither appears in the movie, but at least Spike's dad takes him in for a time until Spike requests to move back in with his stepfather.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Author! Author! (1982) / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: When two of Ivan's stepdaughters run away from their father's home to live with Ivan and the police come to take them back, Ivan and the children stage a standoff on the roof of their building to convince the police and their father to let the girls stay. Al Pacino certainly has experience with standoffs with police, this time fortunately in a much lighter tone. | |

Contrived Coincidence: The producer of the theater production lies to investors, claiming that popular film actress Alice Detroit has already signed on to play the lead in the play, leaving Ivan no choice but to convince her to perform in the play over a dinner. Luckily enough for him, she confesses that she is a big fan of his and would love to perform in his new play. | |
