Based on: Shoeless Joe by W. P. Kinsella.

Year published: 1982

This classic guy-cry film was originally going to be titled Shoeless Joe — like the novel — but the name was changed after filming completed, due to executives at Universal hating the name.

Ironically, Kinsella’s original title for the book was The Dream Field, but his publisher hated it and made him change it to Shoeless Joe.
