Harrison Ford's hair was cut in such a way as to make him look "wimpier" than his previous macho leading man characters.
Paul Winfield read the novel in the late 80s and loved it, telling his agent that if a movie was ever made, he had to have the role of the judge. A few years later when the movie was actually in preproduction, Winfield campaigned hard for the part of the judge, impressing director Alan J. Pakula, who auditioned him and subsequently cast him.
(@ 08:40) Near the beginning of the film, Harrison Ford sits down at a computer to review case files. Most defendant names listed for various sex-related crimes have the surnames of film crew members.
Kevin Costner and Robert Redford turned down the role of Rusty Sabich.
Before the book was released in August 6,1987, producer Sydney Pollack purchased the rights to the film for $1 million dollars.
"Det. Lipranzer: How ya doin'? Christmas present. [takes out glass which was key piece of evidence that went missing during the trial] Rusty Sabich: You're sticking your neck out pretty far on this one, Lip. Det. Lipranzer: It was *them* that fucked up. Remember when they came around and gathered *all* the evidence? The glass wasn't there, I took it down to Dickerman. The next day, I get a call. The test is done, I can come pick up my glass. But when I went down there, Molto had already signed the receipt 'returned to evidence.' I guess they figured I'd put it back. Only, I got no reason to put it anyplace since it ain't my Goddamned case anymore. So I tossed the thing in my drawer. I figure sooner or later someone's gotta ask me about it. Nobody did. Rusty Sabich: You think I killed her. Det. Lipranzer: The lady was bad news. Rusty Sabich: So that makes it okay that I killed her. Det. Lipranzer: Did ya? Rusty Sabich: Oh, pal. [sigh, tosses glass into the water]"
"[last lines] Rusty Sabich: [voiceover] The murder of Carolyn Polhemus remains unsolved. It is a practical impossibility to try two people for the same crime. Even if it wasn't, I couldn't take his mother from my son. I am a prosecutor. I have spent my life in the assignment of blame. With all deliberation and intent, I reached for Carolyn. I cannot pretend it was an accident. I reached for Carolyn, and set off that insane mix of rage and lunacy that led one human being to kill another. There was a crime. There was a victim. And there is *punishment*."
