Ellen Burstyn and son Alfred Lutter are skint; she dreams of happiness in Monterey, and to be a singer. They get stuck in Arizona and she has a close call with psycho Harvey Keitel, then finds more comfort with farmer Kris Kristofferson and waitress Diane Ladd.
Jodie Foster had been in absolutely tons of things before this: many TV appearances, including The Courtship of Eddy's Father, Gunsmoke, and Ironside, and some movies such as Napoleon and Samantha and Kansas City Bomber (both 1972) and Tom Sawyer (1973), and right after this took the lead in a TV version of Paper Moon, the pilot of which you can see here. She's very cool in this.
Kent Wakeford's operator Owen Marsh is somewhat flighty. Marica Lucas edited.
