...Roberta (Rosanna Arquette) lives in New Jersey. Her husband sells hot tubs and makes a fool of himself on his TV commercials. Her diet-conscious friends drink rum and Tab. A romantic interlude for her consists of watching Rebecca on the Late Show. This is no life for someone who keeps a diary and looks like a new-minted movie star. No wonder she spends a lot of time leafing longingly through the personals column of a New York City tabloid, in particular mooning over a free-floating couple, Susan and Jim, who arrange their assignations, all over the country...
...Rosanna Arquette is a one-woman encounter group. Emotions flush onto her bold-featured face, hold for a moment to illuminate her character's pensive or convulsive mood, then fly away. Always changing, always right. "Emotionally," says John Sayles, who directed her as the Jewish princess in Baby, It's You, "Rosanna can go from zero to 60 in no time flat."

His plane crashes, and Reeve is marooned on a mountain with the companion able Rosanna Arquette. Reeve, an experienced pilot who has soloed across the Atlantic, did all his own flying in the film, a claim he cannot make about his earlier aerial incarnation...
Jill (played by a lovely newcomer, Rosanna Arquette) can't resist the long, lean body of a local thug named Albert "the Sheik". Although he's already been expelled from one high school, and doesn't look like a natural for St. Catherine's either, although he steals cars and drives something he calls the "ratmobile," although he says things like "You think I'm gonna make moves on you?", Jill finds herself suddenly necking passionately with him in dark movie houses and sneaking out of the house to hang out at a working class bar called Joey...
