She starts the film looking rather plain and dowdy, becomes visibly sexier and more attractive during the four days she spends with Robert, then reverts back to her plain Jane look as the affair ends and her family returns from their trip. * [[Men Don't Cry]]: A ridiculous amount of coaxing was required to get Clint Eastwood to cry for a scene. * [[Movie of the Book]] * [[Playing Against Type]]: Some critics were skeptical about [[Dirty Harry]] casting himself as a romantic lead. [[Word of God\|Eastwood himself]] has stated that this movie is as close as he has ever been to playing himself. * [[Your Cheating Heart]]: Francesca.
