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]

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]
