Baby It's You is a 1983 American romantic comedy drama film written and directed by John Sayles. It stars Rosanna Arquette and Vincent Spano.

Production

This was Sayles' first film for a major Hollywood studio. He based the screenplay on an autobiographical story by Amy Robinson. Inside and outside of Trenton Central High School was used as location in Fall of 1982, along with some exterior shots done at the Cliffside Park High School.

Rosanna Arquette reflected on the role shortly after the film's theatrical release: "I went to high school for a while, but my experiences were shitty. Somebody asked me how I prepared for that role. I put on those knee socks and that skirt and - I don't know. I just felt her."
