Second Thoughts is a 1983 American comedy-drama film directed by Lawrence Turman and starring Lucie Arnaz, Craig Wasson, Ken Howard and Anne Schedeen.

Production

Lawrence Turman wrote in his memoirs that he was inspired to make the film by reading a news article about a teenage boy who got his girlfriend pregnant and kidnapped her so she would not get an abortion. He made a TV film based on the same article, Unwed Father, and Second Thoughts was another attempt at the story.

The original title was Bastards. Turman had previous directed once before, The Marriage of a Young Stockbroker, and said the decision for him to direct Second Thoughts was "kind of intuitive. I liked the story and I wanted to do it. Creatively it felt right." He also added, "I wasn't interested in abortion at all. What interests me is caring, commitment, passion.

Filming started in September 1981 and was completed by February 1982. Much of the film was shot in Santa Fe where the script had been written. Finance came from Britain's EMI Films, then under the management of Barry Spikings.

Lucie Arnaz chose to do this film over Poltergeist, which she had also been offered, because she believed it gave her a better acting opportunity.
