Bobby convinces Sailor to help him rob a bank, much to Lula's objections (for she has discovered that she is pregnant). When they pull off the road in order to hide out in a small trailer park, Sailor befriends Bobby Peru (Willem Dafoe), an incredibly intense war veteran with a rotten set of teeth. After Sailor is released from prison for murdering a man-albeit in self-defense-he and Lula embark on a sex-filled, rocking road trip, aware that they are being hunted by one of Marietta's cronies. In this case, fate is Lula's mother, Marietta Fortune (Diane Ladd), a desperate woman who hates Sailor and will do anything to keep him away from her daughter. WILD AT HEART follows the troubled romance of Sailor (Nicolas Cage) and Lula (Laura Dern), two lovers who struggle to remain together even when fate seems intent on keeping them apart. I await its return eagerly.In adapting Barry Gifford's colorful novel, David Lynch delivers another jolt of adrenaline to unsuspecting viewers everywhere. The series has finished here, but I'm sure they'll show it again. Give it another chance! I'm not a fan of wildlife themes, so I didn't pay it any attention when the series started here, but for me the sign of a good show is that it can capture you at any episode that you start watching it, and this is what happened to me. The show has gotten some rather virulent reviews on this site, but I came in the middle of the season, so the show must have improved by then, because I can highly recommend it. While the entire cast is good, Hayley Mills' acting pedigree allowed her to confidently stride into a role that is the complete antithesis of her sweet image during her heyday, making her believable as Amanda Holden's bitter mother who likes to push people's buttons. She was a big star when I was growing up and her experience really shows. But it was really great to see Hayley Mills again. This is the first time I've seen Stephen Tompkinson, but I bet he does comedy, his muggings make me laugh. What a great show! I like all the actors.
