Production

After coming across the Alan Hines novel Square Dance, Charles Haid who was looking to move into film production decided the book would make a good film. Haid brought the project to Jane Alexander who agreed to star and executive produce the film, with the two in turn bringing in Daniel Petrie to direct who collaborated with Hines in adapting the novel to film.

Emilio Estevez was initially slated to play the role of Rory; however, when the opportunity came for Estevez to direct, write, and star in Wisdom, Estevez left the project and passed the script along to his friend Rob Lowe. Lowe had his manager accept the part and accepted one-twentieth of his usual salary.

Gregory Peck had initially been cast as Grandpa Dillard, but dropped out and was replaced by Jason Robards.
