Having played the role of Max in the original Broadway production of "Bent", Richard Gere was the original choice of the producers for the same role in this movie, but having already contracted to appear in Red Corner (1997) and The Jackal (1997), he was unavailable for the shooting schedule of this movie.

The original Broadway play, on which this movie was based, opened at the New Apollo Theater in New York City on December 2, 1979, and ran for two hundred forty-one performances. It was written by Martin Sherman, and was nominated for the 1980 Tony Award for Best Play.
