TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell fell in love and moved in together after working on this project.

In an early scene, Ed Harris, clad only in a towel wrapped around his waist, plops down on a chair. For a split second, his genitals are fully exposed. This scene somehow evaded the censors (and in a PG-rated film) and in the first video release, the scene is intact. The scene has now disappeared from subsequent releases. However, it is included on the print shown on Turner Classic Movies.

The role of Ethel the landlady is played by Goldie Hawn's mother Laura.

The film reportedly went through a major bout of re-shoots and editing; some say this was due to the tensions between Hawn and Demme. Some industry insiders reported many of Lahti's scenes were re-shot or cut entirely, due to Hawn's belief that she was stealing scenes, though Lahti and Hawn apparently got along well during filming . Demme was so upset by all of this he wanted an Alan Smithee credit, but was talked out it, and then refused the customary "A Film By" credit before the title, before being talked into keeping it.

Director Jonathan Demme wore period clothes on the set to help set the mood for the actors.
