Quote: “Don't eat too much, don't stay out too late, don't go to suspicious places to play cards, and stay away from girls. But most of all, Bernard, try to be happy.”
Based on a novel by David Benedictus.
Coppola’s Master’s thesis at UCLA turned into a studio film.
At the age of fifteen he earned a scholarship to the New York Military Academy based on his ability to play the tuba.
He didn’t ever feel comfortable in the Academy and ran away after a year and a half to wander the streets of Manhatten for a few days. Some of his adventures were the genesis of You’re A Big Boy Now.
