Roger directed for two days on a set left over from a previous production, and without a proper script. He hired Francis Coppola to write a script and finish the picture. After five weeks of shooting, Roger fired Francis, and hired me to finish the picture. Jack Hill was hired to write a new script with me. A lot of what Francis shot was thrown out, except for the stuff with the witch from WIZARD OF OZ. (Dorothy Newman), and I finished the picture in five days of shooting. All of the interiors are Roger's (with the exception of Francis's witch's lair), and most of the exteriors are mine. To the best of my recollection, and contrary to legend, Jack Nicholson did not direct any of the film.。大哥丁大江是个有担当的男人,他为同母异父的弟弟海涛交过很多次罚单,为了妹妹曾拿酒瓶往头上砸,当得知母亲患了尿毒症后他卖车卖房为她治病,并决定自己捐肾救母,他一直为家人撑起一片天。在大哥的感召下,弟弟海涛变化很大,他为了抢着捐肾救母而将大哥绑起来,虽然最后母亲也只多活了一年多,但没有人会为此后悔,一家人从此更幸福地生活着。。
