One of the reasons why Michael Caton-Jones quit the project was because Miramax head, Harvey Weinstein, nixed his proposal of casting Sophie Okonedo in the lead suggesting she wasn't sufficiently sexually desireable.
In 2018, Asia Argento revealed that she was sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein during the making of this film.
There are multiple scenes in the theatrical trailer not found in the finished release: Beatrice standing with her back against the side of an escalator wearing a golden dress.During the first date in the restaurant she places Alan's hand on her chest to feel her heart instead of just kissing his hand. She asks "Can you feel it?". He excitedly answers yes before she corrects him with "Not my breast, my heart".A scene where Beatrice implores Alan to "say you love me, whatever happens" at Alan's boathouse.After the first sex scene she tells Alan "you have to save me" whilst lying in bed facing away from him and looking into the camera.A scene with Beatrice and Bruno fist bumping each other outside the café.After visiting Mrs. Sturge Beatrice stops and screams "B Monkey read my name" in public whilst gesticulating wildly.When Frank arrives at the cottage his reflection can be seen in his car door while he calls for Beatrice by yelling "B Monkey".Paul's white car speeding out of control in a field before bursting into flames when it hits a wall. This is interspersed with shots of Beatrice screaming "No" whilst reaching out with one arm, a shot from behind her with the car in flames and finally with a shot of her face and tears flowing down it. This would seem to be an alternate ending.
Michael Radford took on the directing role because his previous films had failed and he was in the midst of a divorce at the time.
The film didn't surface on the festival circuits until two years after filming had completed.
"Alan Furnace: [first lines - at DJ mic] You grow up in the suburbs, you picture a life for yourself, right? A life of danger, late nights in smokey jazz clubs, beautiful women everywhere. There's Django Reinhardt with Le Hot Club De Paris, 1939 - you're listening to Night Duty in Saint Jose's hospital. Only then you do grow up, and you're not living that life. You're poor. You teach in a school during the day, and of course you like it. Though you can barely find time to play the bloody trumpet."
"Beatrice: Tomorrow is a long way off, Alan. I might have forgotten you by then."
