    Escaping the shackles of religious legalism

    In 1954, two 24 years-old men return to Indianapolis after the Korean War (Jeremy Davies and Ben Affleck). It turns out they went to the same school, but frail Sonny was a shy writer for the school paper whereas studly Gunner was popular. They form a lasting bond as they drink and chase women (Amy Locane, Rachel Weisz and Rose McGowan).

    "Going All the Way" (1997) is a drama based on Dan Wakefields 1970 somewhat autobiographical novel about facing the challenges of adulthood in the early 50s; he also wrote the screenplay. This happened to be director Mark Pellingtons feature film debut, who would go on to helm The Mothman Prophecies five years later.

    Naturally, the focus is on Sonny ...
