TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

In a 1978 television interview, Cassavetes said this was the best film he had anything to do with.

Peter Falk, Seymour Cassel, and Peter Bogdanovich all make cameos in the opening night scene.

Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar recreates the accident scene in his 1999 film "All About My Mother" (Todo Sobre Mi Madre) as the epicenter of the dramatic conflict.

Both of the mothers of Gena Rowlands and John Cassavetes appeared in the film in acting roles. These were Lady Rowlands and Katherine Cassavetes respectively. Both also appeared in the Rowlands-Cassavetes collaborations of Minnie and Moskowitz (1971) and A Woman Under the Influence (1974).

Director John Cassavetes had major problems getting the picture distributed in the USA. When it did get released, the seasons were limited, with the film performing very poorly at the box office. After Cassavetes had passed away in early 1989, the film was acquired in 1991 by a major American distributor for re-release.

"Bobby: I've seen a lot of drunks in my day, but I never seen anyone as drunk as you and still be able to walk. You're fantastic."
