    • Trivia
      Actor Rob Lowe recalled that when his agent sent him the script by messenger, "a strange thing happened. I started reading it in the bathtub. I was only going to skim the first few pages. But by page 73, the water was cold, and I was totally into the character. We hadn't even discussed whether I'd do the picture . . . but I knew that nothing could stop me".
    • Goofs
      The end of the movie apparently takes place when the softball team has a spring practice. However, we see that the leaves are changing.
    • Quotes

      Debbie: Bullshit. You don't know what love is. You've gotten everything you have always wanted and now you're feeling sorry for yourself because there's something you want and you can't have it. But you had it! I gave you love. But you asked me to leave and I left.

    • Alternate versions
      Despite the fact that India takes issues with sex, the film was never released in India during the '80s, but the film was given a 'U' (unrestricted) certificate for television showings only in the Chennai region in 2007. It is clearly unknown if it was cut or uncut.

    It was fun

    This is a romance based on a David Mamet play but Mr. Kazurinski and his companion produced the adaptation that we see in the movie. Fortunately I'd say, for not so many people would like the bitterness of the original. Instead, we have much of the sarcasm but with a not so expected happy ending. Personally I find the story very simple, real and humane. It is from the simple things than we are able to look higher.
