Reportedly, William Hurt and Raul Julia worked for nothing but the payment for their air tickets and hotel bills in Brazil, where the film was shot.
During rehearsals, the two actors had trouble finding the chemistry they needed for their scenes together. To better understand what each needed from the other's role, William Hurt suggested they try an experiment where they would switch roles, with Hurt as Valentin and Raul Julia as Molina. The role-switching rehearsal went so well that Hurt initially suggested to director Hector Babenco that they should switch parts for the film as well. Obviously, the switch did not occur, but Hurt states that it was a very useful experiment in helping them more fully understand their own characters.
The first independent film to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture.
Sonia Braga did not speak English at the time of production, and had to recite her lines phonetically.
William Hurt's Best Actor Oscar was the first Academy Award won by an actor for playing an openly gay character. Hurt is also seen in drag in this movie, the Oscar win being a rare occasion in which an Oscar for acting has been won with an actor in drag.
"Luis Molina: The nicest thing about feeling happy is that you think you'll never be unhappy again."
"[last lines] Valentin Arregui: I love you so much. That's the one thing I never said to you, because I was afraid of losing you forever. Marta: That can never happen now. This dream is short, but this dream is happy."
