Heartaches is a 1981 Canadian comedy film written by Terence Heffernan and directed by Donald Shebib. It stars Margot Kidder, Annie Potts, Winston Rekert and Robert Carradine. The movie is about two young women who form an unlikely friendship on a bus ride to Toronto.

Production

Donald Shebib had been planning to make Heartaches since 1976. According to Shebib, “the script was originally based upon a book called 'The Bottle Factory Outing' [by Beryl Bainbridge]...I changed it from a bottle factory to a mattress factory. Eventually the script was so different from the book that we paid [Bainbridge] the rights for the book back. When she did see the film, she loved it.”

The start of filming was delayed several weeks because of an unpaid bond that was required by ACTRA, the Canadian actors' trade union. Filming resumed when movie financing and management company Seven Arts Studios was able to raise the needed funds. Heartaches was shot mostly in Toronto, with one week in Atlanta, Georgia.
