Second Thoughts is a 1983 American comedy-drama film directed by Lawrence Turman and starring Lucie Arnaz, Craig Wasson, Ken Howard and Anne Schedeen.[1] [2]

It was the second feature directed by Turman, who was better known as a producer.

Plot

Lawyer Amy finds herself courted by two very different men: her client, a roguish street musician named Will, and her old boyfriend John Michael. A curious triangle develops as Amy gets pregnant by Will and both men vie for her affections.

Cast

Production

Filming started late 1981 and was completed by February 1982.[3] Much of the film was shot in Santa Fe.[4]

Lucie Arnaz chose to do this film over Poltergeist which she had also been offered because she believed it gave her a better acting opportunity.[5]

Reception

The Los Angeles Times said the film "doesn't warrant a second thought".[6]
