Baby, It's You

Rosanna Arquette (After Hours) and Vincent Spano (Rumblefish) star in writer/director John Sayles' romantic-drama, Baby It's You. Set in 1966 New Jersey, middle-class high school senior Jill (Arquette) finds herself inexplicably drawn to a suave, blue collar bad boy (and aspiring singer) known as "The Sheik" (Spano). Exuding mystery and danger, "The Sheik" woos Jill until she succumbs to his charms, which baffles her friends and horrifies her parents and teachers. Baby It's You recounts the ups and downs of the lead characters from young love to hook-ups & break-ups to college life and the toll of unfulfilled dreams. With his extraordinary ear for dialog, John Sayles (Lone Star, Eight Men Out, Return of the Secaucus 7) fashions a period piece with contemporary relevance. Featured in supporting roles are Tracy Pollan (TV's Family Ties), Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket) and Fisher Stevens (Short Circuit).
