Interesting facts

Valentino Returns is a 1989 American romantic drama film written by Leonard Gardner, directed by Peter Hoffman and starring Frederic Forrest, Veronica Cartwright, Jenny Wright and Barry Tubb. It is Hoffman's feature directorial debut and based on Gardner's short story "Christ Has Returned to Earth and Preaches Here Nightly."

Production

The movie was filmed in and around Stockton and Newman, and was funded by its director Peter Hoffman. It found an advocate in John Pierson, who recommended it for inclusion in the 1988 Sundance Film Festival. However, in his book Spike, Mike, Slackers, & Dykes, Pierson explains that Hoffman could not finish post-production on time: He’s spent years editing his feature, spending millions of dollars of family money in the process.
