Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDanny Peary in his book "Guide for the Film Fanatic" (1987) states "not many people paid attention to the film upon release" while Richard Schickel in his book "Clint: A Retrospective" (2012) states that this movie in theaters "came and went virtually without notice". In a later interview, Eastwood would blame Universal for not marketing this film correctly, leading it to be a flop at the box office - even with its relatively low budget of only $750,000.
- GoofsWhen Frank takes Breezy to the Pacific Ocean so she can see it for the first time, it is early morning. When they arrive, the sun is clearly behind the ocean, casting shadows onto the beach, not away from it, so the scene was shot at sunset, not sunrise. In the next scene, Breezy is seen in bright sunlight with the sun high in the sky.
- Quotes
Frank Harmon: I'm sorry... is that better?
Breezy: I know I'm being a baby. So, don't say anything.
Frank Harmon: I wouldn't think of it.
Breezy: No lectures on maturity, either.
Frank Harmon: Not a word shall pass my lips. I'll let you in on a secret... nobody matures. They just grow tired.
Breezy: Y'know, Davy and Marcy have been living together for almost six months now. But, they don't have this... what we have. Davy tells her he loves her all the time, but... the words by themselves don't mean a hell of a lot. Marcy says that she loves him, but I think she has to say it because... then she doesn't realize how really alone she is.
Frank Harmon: Maybe sometimes it's better to be alone.
Breezy: Sure. Just like if you have something incurable, it's better to be dead.

This is a great love story. It deals with the nature of love, unbounded by conventions or expectations. As such, it also embodies the generally understood essence of the (California) flower child movement. Free love. If you love something, set it free...
This film has a lot to say about aging and the maintenance of dreams, the preservation of youthfulness. As such, it is inspirational. Another film that deals with this subject is "Harold and Maude".
Watching this film again took me back to the early seventies. Kay and I are now in our late sixties, but the message still resonates. Like the wonderful "Breezy's Song" by Marilyn and Alan Bergman, and Michel Legrand. I bet many people would never guess the film was directed by Clint Eastwood, if they didn't know.
