Independence Day (1983 film)

Common card · No. 259506

Independence Day is a 1983 American drama film directed by Robert Mandel from a script by the novelist Alice Hoffman. It was designed by Stewart Campbell and shot by Charles Rosher. It stars Kathleen Quinlan, David Keith, Cliff DeYoung, Frances Sternhagen and Dianne Wiest. The film concerns the small-town life of an artist (Quinlan) and her challenge to become "what she's almost sure she could be." Her desperation takes the form of affectations and pretensions that are like those of the young Katharine Hepburn in Alice Adams and the young Margaret Sullavan in The Shop Around the Corner, but the Quinlan character "has the talent driving her on past all that." Wiest plays a battered wife.
