Trivia and QuotesQuotes Christine Collins: Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. Christine Collins: I used to tell Walter, "Never start a fight... but always finish it." I didn`t start this fight... but by God, I`m going to finish it. Christine Collins: The boy they brought back is not my son. Detective Lester Ybarra: Dig. You put them in the ground, now you can take them out. You heard me. Dig. Arthur Hutchins: `Night, mommy.
Christine Collins: [yelling] Stop calling me that! I`m not your mother! I want my son back! Damn you!Trivia Clint Eastwood agreed to direct the same afternoon he read the script. Some scenes were filmed at a train station in San Bernardino, CA during the 2007 California brush fires. The whole set was thick with fire smoke. Both Hilary Swank and Reese Witherspoon lobbied for the role of Christine Collins. Clint Eastwood cast Angelina Jolie at the suggestion of Executive Producer Ron Howard, who noted that Jolie`s "look" would fit best with the time period. There is a roadside café named "Bummy`s" which appears early on in the film. This is possibly in memory of Clint Eastwood`s long time collaboration with Production Designer Henry Bumstead, who passed away in 2006. His nickname was "Bummy". Twice in the film, Angelina Jolie`s character "Christine" says: "Never start a fight, but always finish it". This is the same quote that Captain John Sheridan says his father always told him in the 90`s sci-fi series "Babylon 5" (1994) which writer J. Michael Straczynski also wrote. Likewise, Attorney Hahn`s description of how his daughter`s absence continues to affect him daily is nearly identical to the way Sheridan describes grappling with his wife`s death. Based on the true story of the Wineville Chicken Coop Murders, also known as the Wineville Chicken Murders.
