Curiozități

Personal Best is a 1982 American drama film written, produced and directed by Robert Towne in his directional debut. It stars Mariel Hemingway as track runner Chris Cahill and real-life track star Patrice Donnelly as fellow runner Tory Skinner, along with Scott Glenn as their coach Terry Tingloff. The film is about the lesbian relationship between two track-and-field teammates whose relationship might interfere with their performance.

Production

Mariel Hemingway trained extensively before the film began shooting.

Many of the scenes were filmed in San Luis Obispo County, California. While the sign on the track shows "Cal Poly" (California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, a university in San Luis Obispo), it was filmed at the track at Morro Bay High School. Two scenes were filmed at restaurants in downtown San Luis Obispo: the Cigar Factory and 1865. Filming also occurred in Eugene, Oregon.

The production was halted in July 1980 because of a strike by the Screen Actors Guild.

Towne clashed with producer David Geffen during the production. He later sued Geffen and others for $110 million.

Although Michael Chapman is listed as the sole director of photography, Reynaldo Villalobos and Caleb Deschanel did uncredited work.
