FILM 2330: APRIL FOOL'S DAY (1986)

TRIVIA: While the crew was lighting a scene, Deborah Goodrich began reading a "Cosmopolitan" questionnaire to her co-stars, which elicited a huge conversation that caught the attention of director Fred Walton. A few days later, Walton handed Goodrich the magazine and a new set of questions, and asked the actresses to improvise a scene which wound up in the final cut.

Due to the film being light on violence, it received frequent airings on late-night television, where it gained a large cult following.

At the film's beginning, Griffin O'Neal's Skip character is blamed for a prank-turned-accident that leaves a ferryman disfigured. In a bizarre case of life imitating art, O'Neal was indicted on manslaughter charges the following year for a drug-induced boating mishap that resulted in the death of Francis Ford Coppola's son Gian-Carlo Coppola.

Although only mentioned once by Kit later in the film, the characters are students at Vassar College: a private liberal arts college in New York.
