action

Peggy Sue is invited to an anniversary class reunion after 25 years . Her husband Charlie is also invited, but the two recently separated because he, a locally known junk king , prefers to have fun with his shop assistants than to look after his family. To avoid the questions about Charlie at the class reunion, she lets her daughter Beth accompany her to the class reunion. Thanks to her dress, which she wore to her former prom , and her attractive daughter Beth, the conversation does not initially fall on her separation from Charlie as feared. But the topic is of course addressed. After all, all ex-classmates know that Charlie and Peggy Sue had to get married immediately after high school because Peggy was pregnant. As if these questions about Charlie weren't bad enough for her, her husband Charlie shows up personally at the party, which annoys Peggy Sue even more.

Just like at the prom, “King” and “Queen” of the graduating class are chosen at the anniversary class reunion. In addition to the then outsider Richard Norvik, who has now become a multimillionaire with computers, Peggy Sue is selected. At first she doesn't want to go on stage to pay tribute, but eventually she does. During the brief address to her former classmates, she faints.

When she wakes up in 1960, she finds herself at a blood donation drive . At first she thinks she died during the class reunion, but the more she rediscovered her old days, the more she realizes that she must have really traveled back in time . The realization is difficult for her, after all, she was a seasoned mother, housewife and adult who now has to submit to the constraints of youth. Not only does she criticize the math teacher for the uselessness of algebra , she is even no longer allowed to indulge in alcoholic beverages. However, she also sees the opportunity to correct things in her life. So she first separates from Charlie and then approaches her classmates Michael Fitzsimmons and the outsider Norvik. Furthermore, she tries to intensify the relationship with her younger sister Nancy so that she does not grow apart with her later.

Since Peggy Sue already knows the future and all of its developments up to 1985, she knows which investments in technology will be worthwhile. After convincing Norvik that she is from the future, she tells him all the secrets of high tech such as: B. stereos , pocket TVs , microwave ovens and pantyhose . So she spends more and more time with him and tells him about successful things from the future.

This annoys Charlie, because he loves Peggy Sue very much and tries to confess and prove it to her again and again. But she is fed up with him and his lies, prefers to devote herself to the budding poet Fitzsimmons and approaches him not only intellectually but also physically. When Charlie finds out about the nightly meeting, he is beside himself and reveals his feelings to Peggy Sue again. He could forgive her every misstep, but she shouldn't deny him his love. Peggy Sue realizes that Charlie never wanted to be who he is in the future. She, on the other hand, knows that he will always be in her heart and that he can allow himself to make mistakes again and again. However, she doesn't want anything more to do with it.

Instead, she visits her dearly loved grandparents, who died long ago, and enjoys these renewed moments with them. After she tells her grandfather that she is from the future, he takes her to his Lodge Association , a secret organization for older men that was once founded by a time traveler. There the members of the lodge perform a secret, ancient ritual that Peggy Sue is supposed to bring back to her time. Outside the building, a major storm is raging, there is a thunderstorm and the power fails. When the light is turned on again, Peggy Sue has disappeared and the lodge members cheer for her apparent success. But it was Charlie who kidnapped her in a careless moment during the ritual and again confessed his love to her. And again Peggy Sue refuses to accept him because she never wants to be married to him again because of her bad experiences. But Charlie is not discouraged and gives her a medallion as a token and proof of his love. Although, after opening it, they are pictures of her and Charlie's children, at first she believes that they are pictures of their children. This thought then leads to her getting involved with Charlie again and sleeping with him.

The next morning she wakes up again in the hospital where she is, at the side of the aged Charlie who, several days after her breakdown at the class reunion, watched by her bedside. She herself considers her memories to be a dream and fends off Charlie despite all the expressions of love. It is only when she receives a book from Fitzsimmons with a personal dedication of their night together that she realizes that she really was in the past. Now she sees another chance for a reconciliation with Charlie. And true to her grandmother's motto that a good apple strudel keeps the family together, she suggests Charlie maybe bake a strudel together.

production

After Penny Marshall was originally intended to direct and Debra Winger to play the title role, Francis Ford Coppola took over the direction. He not only engaged his daughter Sofia Coppola in a supporting role, but also his nephew Nicolas Cage in the lead role. He had hired Cage because after Valley Girl he had already cast him as the leading role in his film Cotton Club and was satisfied with its work. But Cage didn't want to take over the film and almost got fired from TriStar Pictures if Coppola hadn't intervened. After all, Cage played the character Charlie and still didn't know what kind of film it would be, which is why, after consulting Coppola, he made a cartoon character based on the model of Pokey, a character from Gumby , which he lived out excessively in the film. While filming, Cage was about to be fired because of his portrayal and constant criticism. Turner in particular was amazed that she had "a Jerry Lee Lewis on LSD" partner. It was the last collaboration between Coppola and Cage.

Coppola didn't like the film at first either, so he had it intensively rewritten. In particular, it was important to him that the revision of the script included the small town charm based on Thornton Wilder's Our Little Town . The film is based strongly on the last chapter of the play. Overall, Coppola rewrote almost the entire script so that a shallow comedy turned into a more sentimental drama. He removed bizarre scenes, such as a hypnosis scene in which a student hypnotizes Peggy Sue to open her blouse, and focused more on a deep melancholy.

In the original script there was also a side story about Rosalie, who is in a wheelchair. Peggy Sue tries to prevent herself from getting injured in a tournament ("I think you should give up diving. It's dangerous."), But Rosalie, who also has two congratulatory scenes written in it, dismisses this as crazy because she does both Best in the country, as well as training for at least three hours a day ("Don't be silly, I'm the best in the county. [...] I spend three hours a day practicing. I have trainers, I know what I 'm doing. "). After she is later kidnapped by Charlie and has heard his confessions of love, she only says that she is not crazy enough to marry him a second time, because after all she couldn't even help Rosalie ("I might be crazy, but I'm not crazy enough to marry you twice. There's a lot of things I can't change. I can't even think about them. I tried. But I couldn't even help Rosalie. "). In the German version it became the line of dialogue that she couldn't even save herself.

background

Buddy Holly's songs: "Peggy Sue" & "Peggy Sue Got Married"

The title song Peggy Sue Got Married by Buddy Holly is not only used in the film's soundtrack. Both he and Holly's hit Peggy Sue are particularly close to the film in terms of content. While the song Peggy Sue , released in September 1957, is about the only true love for a woman named Peggy Sue, its sequel Peggy Sue Got Married, recorded in December 1959, is about the disappointment that Peggy Sue is already taken and married to the wrong person. The film also deals with both subjects and initially shows the subject of the title song and that she is married to the wrong person. In the middle part of the film the topic of the hit is shown again, because Charlie tries after initial difficulties to Peggy Sue permanently to prove his eternal love. And so the film comes to its own conclusion that Peggy Sue is not married to the wrong person, but that problems belong to a marriage.

The version of Buddy Holly by Peggy Sue Got Married used at the beginning of the film was originally the demo tape that he recorded on his acoustic guitar in a private setting a few weeks before his death . What is unusual is that Holly wrote Peggy Sue Got Married, one of the first sequels in rock history. The version itself was rather unknown for a long time, as these recordings were heavily edited in the studio after his death. On June 30th, Peggy Sue Got Married was provided with additional instruments and background vocals at Coral Records' Studio A in New York City and then released on the album The Buddy Holly Story .

Anachronisms

In historical films and films, will be shown where generally different time periods, it always comes back to anachronisms . This means that things are shown that either no longer exist or should not exist at all. Also in Peggy Sue got married , whose story takes place in the summer of 1960, there were minor mistakes:

  • For example, at a party in 1960 you can see some Bose speakers in the background . The company was not founded until 1964 and the special 901 series "Direct / Reflecting" did not come onto the market until 1968.
  • Donut shop running while Peggy Sue Fitzsimmons and talk in the background You Can not Sit Down by Phil Upchurch . Upchurch did not release this song until 1961. And the version of The Dovells to be heard was not recorded until 1963.
  • The film shows a fire engine from the 1960s , but the firefighters wear fiberglass helmets from the 1980s .
  • When Peggy Sue goes into the record shop, you can see through the shop window that the street has double yellow lanes. However, these were only introduced on a trial basis in 1961 and finally became more widespread from 1963 onwards. In 1960 the roadway should have had either a double white, a single white or a single yellow lane.

Also anachronistic, but intentional in terms of content, are some of Peggy Sue's allusions to future events. So Peggy Sue uses her knowledge from the future again and again to evaluate other things as well as to warn about them. Among other things, she mentions to her little sister Nancy that she shouldn't eat the red M & M’s because they are poisonous. Between 1976 and 1985 these were taken off the market because of a certain color additive and were only reintroduced after the recipe had been changed.

The model of the 1958 Edsel Pacer used in the film

Even when her father proudly presented the 1958 Edsel Pacer as an expensive and new vehicle, she made fun of the fact that he had an Edsel (German synchronization: scrap truck) turned on. Anachronistic and to be understood as a film error is that the action could not have taken place in the summer of 1960, since the Edsel was already considered a flop at the end of 1959 and was taken off the market, whereby the 1958 Edsel Pacer had sold the best of all. Even today, the lack of sales of the Edsel Pacer is considered one of the biggest flops in automotive history.

useful information

  • The English original title Peggy Sue got married was the inspiration for several series for individual episodes. That was the name of the ninth episode of the first season of A Terribly Nice Family in the original Peggy Sue got work . Also the fourth episode of the second season of Sledge Hammer! Originally had a similar name: Peggy Sue got murdered (German: Tödliche Demokratie).
  • The scene of the mystical ritual of the lodge was imitated and parodied almost identically in 2007 in the fifth episode of the eleventh season of South Park with the title Fantastic Easter Special (German: The Easter Bunny Code).
  • In order to avoid an allusion to the film Back to the Future , which was successfully released only a year earlier , one sentence was dubbed. When Richard asked where she came from, Peggy was originally supposed to answer that she was "back from the future". This has been transformed and now means that it comes from the future (English: "come from the future").
  • In the German-language Mad magazine , issue 216 of April 1987, a three-page parody with the title “Peggy Sue copied” was published based on drawings by Mort Drucker and the text by Stan Hart.
  • In her 2008 biography Send Yourself Roses , Kathleen Turner alleged that Cage was arrested twice while filming for drunk driving and for stealing a Chihuahua . His lawyers then sued Turner and the publishing house for false accusations and were given justice in a London court, so that these passages had to be removed from the book. Turner also had to apologize publicly, pay the court costs and make a certain contribution to a charitable foundation .
  • The then 84-year-old actor Leon Ames played his last film role as a grandfather before his death in 1993.

criticism

The film received extremely positive reviews. The Rotten Tomatoes website counted 24 professional reviews as positive, which corresponds to a value of 88%. However, the general public received the film with mixed reactions, because at the same time only 47% of 32,473 users rated the film as positive, which in turn means that 53% of all votes cast definitely rated the film negative. This, in turn, is generally confirmed by the online film archive IMDb , another platform on which normal users can submit their film reviews, because there 13,373 users gave the film an average of 6.3 out of 10 possible points. (As of May 12, 2020)

In September 2009, US magazine Entertainment Weekly selected Peggy Sue Married at number 17 of the 25 best high school films of all time. The film was also considered twice in the American Film Institute's annual film leaderboard poll . However, the film was then not represented in any of the best lists. Both for the election of the AFI's 100 Years ... 100 Laughs in 2000, when the film landed at number 250 out of 500, and for the election of the AFI's 10 Top 10 in the year when the film was ranked 36 out of 50 in the Fantasy category landed, the film could take middle places.

English language review

In the Washington Post , the film was reviewed by both Paul Attanasio and Rita Kempley on October 10, 1986. Attanasio concludes that the film is about a mature woman trying to figure out what is really important in life and that the film is less about “solving problems” and more about “accepting problems” . He praised the wonderful sets and the visual character of the film. Turner also has a "remarkable sense of humor" . He also praised Nicolas Cage as an “ingenious solution” , as he found his character as an overstylized cartoon-like caricature of a teenager from the 1960s thanks to his pompadour hairstyle, his false teeth and his nasal voice. Rita Kempley, on the other hand, praised the wonderful script "with its clever dialogues" and was amazed at the "strange performance" by Nicolas Cage.

Roger Ebert praised in the Chicago Sun-Times that Kathleen Turner offers a performance "that has to be seen" . In addition, Peggy Sue is a more complex film than it appears at first glance, because it is both a "human comedy, a nostalgic memory and a love story, which sometimes becomes scary when it suddenly awakens one's own experiences" .

Vincent Canby wrote in the New York Times that the film was "a lovable and casual fantasy comedy with a fond memory of Buddy Holly's title song" . He compared it to Back to the Future and said that Peggy Sue was "less concerned about the possible consequences if the past should be changed . " However, he also criticized the chemistry of the two main characters, which would not seem to match. In his opinion, Kathleen Turner saves the film through her timing.

Even Richard Corliss compared in Time magazines Peggy Sue with Back to the Future and concluded, "Peggy Sue's Journey" was "scary" because the main character knows what lies ahead: "death and decay" of the family, they once took for granted; even “everyday moments” suddenly become “precious” .

German language criticism

The film service wrote that Peggy Sue got married is “humorous and touching” . He narrated “ an everyday love story” using simple means in terms of both form and content, but extremely subtle and refined, and he “casually addresses the question of human freedom to shape one's fate”. Compared to the two earlier godfather films, Coppola's lavish naturalism has given way to a “brilliant, sensory artificiality”. Even more clearly than in Cotton Club , The Outsider and Rumble Fish , these are presented in the commercial commissioned production Peggy Sue Has Married . The film is similar to a remake of The Magic Land , is completely apolitical and finds a fascinating poetic narrative form.

Robert Fischer ( epd Film ) said that the film shows how an adult would get a second chance to change their life from a young age and thus a “universal dream on screen becomes reality” . He also came to the conclusion that after The Godfather it was “Coppola's best, but without a doubt his most popular film” . He also praised the acting performances of the two main actors, because "Kathleen Turner as Peggy Sue was never better" and Nicolas Cage performances can "only be properly appreciated in the original American version" . Fischer was very much alone with this opinion, however, because both Cage and all other filmmakers as well as contemporary American film critics saw his portrayal in particular as a flaw in the film. But Fischer found that his "immature would-be lover who imitates James Dean, with paws and well-groomed slang [...] is one of the many flawless elements in this grandiose film pleasure that almost turned out to be a masterpiece."

The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung called the plot a delightful mind game. The story remains "just for a while in the balance" and is equipped with a "sacharin-sweet and tacky end" . You can tell from the beginning that Coppola had taken over the endangered project from another director. The story and its further development lack “the soul” . The two main actors Kathleen Turner and the "fidgety" Nicolas Cage could not change that either.

For Urs Jenny from Spiegel , Peggy Sue got married was a "" Back to the Future "for the more mature generation" with a "neat [...], polished, idyllic" charm and a "frosting finish" . He accused the film, however, of a certain lack of orientation, because neither the filmmakers knew “what Peggy Sue's time travel is good for.” , Nor did Peggy Sue show any inclination to use her knowledge of the future: “She's just sentimental when her feelings of impermanence do that Heartache, and she's just weird when she gossips. " However, he praised Kathleen Turner, because she " plays and plays the mature woman in teenage dress so hard as if it were really about life, not just an Oscar. "

The Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger was disappointed that Peggy Sue got married , because if Coppola's works were “always aimed at the extreme” , this time he was content with a “simple variation” of stylistic means. Peggy Sue is rather "a remake of Zemecki's Back To The Future " . Here, however, “the kids are not his heroes, but the adults who long to do everything all over again, but then do it completely differently.” However, not everything about the film was bad, because “the simple experiences are particularly touching” " Was, whereby " the kitschy end " would get a " bitter angry timbre " , " because from the freedom to make new decisions, Coppola makes a compulsion to repeat. "

Over 25 years after the film was released, Oliver Maser came to the conclusion in the Berliner Morgenpost that it was a “humorous and touching” “wonderful love story” that played with “being able to turn back time and fate itself to take the hand. "

Awards

The film was nominated for several film awards and won three awards. In particular, Kathleen Turner , the cinematographer Jordan Cronenweth and costume designer Theadora Van Runkle were kept in mind. This is how Peggy Sue got married includes :
