While directing Un sogno lungo un giorno (1981), Francis Ford Coppola received a letter from a class of schoolchildren in the American Midwest. The children said, since he was such a good director, they had all enjoyed Apocalypse Now (1979), would he please consider tackling their favorite literary work, a book called The Outsiders, by the children's author S.E. Hinton. Coppola agreed. While shooting I ragazzi della 56ª strada (1983), Coppola decided to make a second film back-to-back with it - a smaller, more personal work. The result was Rusty il selvaggio (1983), and it, too, is based on a book by S. E. Hinton.
