The movie is based on the personal experiences of writer and television producer Dick Wolf.
The Scranton Bus Depot scene was filmed outside Russell's Package Store in Leominster, Massachusetts. The building was a former train station, and the exterior looked like an old bus station. The owners were compensated for its use with a complete interior remodel. To this day, the Scranton, Pennsylvania Bus Depot decals remain in the front windows of the liquor store.
The campus scenes in the movie were shot at Middlesex School in Concord, Massachusetts. When the school offered their school for the campus scenes, they were not aware of the plot.
While reviewing this movie on his show, film critic Gene Siskel recalled experiencing anti-Semitic prejudice during his time at prep school, including being handed piece of toast with jam in the shape of a swastika. Siskel said the film had a fairly high bar with him due to its subject matter, but the end result pleased him very much.
In the French version, Le College d'Elite, all the scenes with the obnoxious French teacher, Mr. Cleary, who keeps riding McGiven, were changed to an Italian teacher. All the dialogue in French was dubbed in Italian. The name of the absent French teacher, Monsieur Renard, was changed to Signore Rinaldi.
"[last lines] Charlie Dillon: You know something? I'm still gonna get into Harvard. And in 10 years no one will remember any of this. But you'll still be a goddamn Jew. David Green: And you'll still be a prick."
"Jack Connors: Okay, I'll admit it, you know. I'm an anti-Semite. I crack Jew jokes, think they're dirty, pushy. And you know what? David Greene's the only one I've ever met up close. McGoo: What's you're point, Connors? Jack Connors: He's a good guy."
