In director Norman Jewison's 1987 film, Loretta (Cher), who lost her husband years earlier in an accident, is now accepting the proposal of nice guy Johnny (Danny Aiello), despite not being in love with him. She thinks marrying him will put her life in order, until she meets Johnny's brother Ronny (Nicolas Cage) and falls in love. MGM, the movie's studio, didn't want to hire Cage after his screen test, but Cher was convinced he was the right one for the part and threatened to quit unless he was hired.
