TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Eric Brown replaced another actor was originally cast as Phillip "Philly" Fillmore but was fired after eighteen days of shooting.

While most of the movie was filmed in the Phoenix, Arizona area the production had to go into New Mexico to film the love scenes as the age of consent in Arizona is 18 and in New Mexico it is 16.

First of two consecutive cinema movies where actor Eric Brown has intimate liaisons with an older woman. The second picture was They're Playing with Fire (1984) around three years later in 1984. In both films Brown is teamed with a known older sex symbol, Sylvia Kristel in Private Lessons (1981), and Sybil Danning in They're Playing with Fire (1984).

The picture is part of a mini early-to-mid 1980s cycle of Hollywood movies where a young man has an affair with a more mature woman. This has started after the box-office success of the late 1970s Canadian film In Praise of Older Women (1978). The films include: Class (1983), My Tutor (1983), Private Lessons (1981), In the Mood (1987), and They're Playing with Fire (1984).

Howard Hesseman wore a wig in this film and sports a mustache .

Popular Dialogues

"Philly: If you're gonna get a new job, you're gonna have to have a letter of reference, from my father. Mallow: Well, your father might not think I've been working long enough. Philly: I didn't mean for him to write it. But, I know what he'd say if he knew you as well as I do: She was passionate about her household duties. Mallow: And she kept things well in hand! Philly: She gave everything she had to her employer."

"Mallow: Would you like to join me? Philly: Would I like to what? Mallow: Take a bath with me. Philly: You mean, in there? With you? Right now? Mallow: Why don't you try it. Maybe you'll like it. Philly: Well, eh, I probably wouldn't even fit in there. Mallow: Oh, yes you would! I promise. Philly: You mean you want me to take off all my clothes and everything? Mallow: Do you usually wear them when you take a bath? Philly: No, not usually. Mallow: Oh, come on, Philly. I won't even look. Philly: I-I don't know. Mallow: Come on, it will be an adventure! Philly: Well, alright. Mallow: Good."
