The opening scene in which the landlord (Charles Durning) is showing Jon Rubin (Robert De Niro) around his crummy new apartment is a parody of a then-contemporary television public-service announcement for the New York Urban Coalition, in which a similarly-slimy landlord shows off a dilapidated apartment to a black man. The movie scene follows the commercial closely, and both De Niro and the unnamed black renter accept the apartment with the same words: "I'll take it," but the commercial is in black-and-white. (The public-service campaign, titled "Give A Damn", was also responsible for the same-named 1969 hit single by the pop group Spanky & Our Gang.)
The sequel to Brian De Palma's Greetings (1968).
The fictional NIT (National Intellectual Television) network is a play on the NET (National Educational Television) network. The NET was a precursor to PBS.
Writer and director Brian De Palma and Robert De Niro worked together on Greetings (1968), this movie, and The Untouchables (1987).
Second collaboration between Brian De Palma and Robert De Niro.
"[last lines] John Winnicove: I don't mean to push you... Jon Rubin: And I'm... John Winnicove: ...but we have to get off the air now. Jon Rubin: But... John Winnicove: Do you have anything... Jon Rubin: Are you... John Winnicove: ...that you would just like to say in summary? Jon Rubin: Well, uh, I would like to say something, uh if you don't mind. John Winnicove: No, of course not. Jon Rubin: Uh, I'd like to say hello to my mother, if you don't mind. John Winnicove: Uh, of course. Jon Rubin: Hi, Mom!"
"Jeannie Mitchell: [camera pans across a huge vacant lot of gray dirt fronting unremarkable older buildings] This is the wonderful view we have from the living room and bedroom windows. It's really nice because how many people in New York can look out their window and see this much space? Usually they're just looking into the side of another building or into somebody else's window. Jeannie Mitchell: [camera shifts back and forth between views of two equally-bland and characterless modern cement-block apartment buildings] This is the housing project across the street. It's not nearly as nice as the one we live in. This is our housing project. See? I don't like that one at all. This one is really pretty. It's really modern, and the cement blocks--all one color."
