Robin Williams originally turned down the role because he didn't like the script, but after several re-writes, he agreed to the role.

Answer: Shoe factory

The movie opened to a scene of a young Alan Parrish being chased by bullies. After he made it safely to the family business and took refuge inside, it was revealed to be a shoe factory run by his father.

The "Olde Woolen Mill" in North Berwick, Maine, was used for the exterior scenes of the factory and had "Parrish Shoe Company" painted on the outside. The sign "Four generations of quality" seen above the portico in the movie has since been removed.

Some of the movie's street scenes were filmed in Keene, New Hampshire and an advertisement for "Parrish Shoes" was painted on a wall on the corner of West and Main Streets.
