More on This Boy's Life
Description from Wikipedia:
This Boy's Life was a film adaptation of the memoir of the same name by Tobias Wolff. The 1993 film is directed by Michael Caton-Jones and stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Tobias Wolff, Robert De Niro as stepfather Dwight Hansen, and Ellen Barkin as Toby's mother, Caroline Wolff-Hansen. The film also features Chris Cooper, Carla Gugino, and Eliza Dushku, as well as Tobey Maguire in a small role.
Largely filmed in the state of Washington, the town of Concrete, Washington, (where Tobias Wolff's teen years were spent with his mother and stepfather, Dwight) was transformed to its 1950s appearance for a realistic feel. Many of the town's citizens were used as extras, and all external scenes in Concrete (and some internal scenes, as well) were shot in and around the town, including the former elementary school buildings and the still-active Concrete High School building.
The soundtrack of This Boy's Life used many songs from the 1950s and early 1960s. The main titles (filmed in Professor Valley, Utah) feature Frank Sinatra's version of "Let's Get Away from It All" from his 1958 album Come Fly with Me and Toby and his mother sing "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair" from the popular postwar musical South Pacific. However, most of the music in the film reflects Toby's fondness for rock and roll and doo wop, including songs by Eddie Cochran, Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, and Link Wray. Carter Burwell composed the film's pensive score, which featured New York guitarist Frederic Hand.
