The studio wanted Martin Scorsese to direct the film himself, but he personally chose Stephen Frears to do the job, while Scorsese stayed on as Producer.
In a late 2013 interview, Anjelica Huston described this role as the most challenging one of her career.
John Cusack was a big fan of the book, and tried to option the rights when he was still in high school.
Anjelica Huston and John Cusack accepted much less than their usual fees just to be in this movie.
The short opening narration is done by Martin Scorsese.
"Roy Dillon: You talk the lingo. What's your pitch? Myra Langtry: The long end, big con. Roy Dillon: Nobody does that single-o. Myra Langtry: I was teamed ten years with the best in the business, Cole Langley. Roy Dillon: I've heard the name. Myra Langtry: It was beautiful! And getting better all the time. Roy Dillon: Is that right? Myra Langtry: It is, Roy. It's where you should be. What do you bring in, $300, $400 a week? We used money like that for tips!"
"Bobo Justus: One question. Do you want to stick to that story, or do you want to keep your teeth? Lilly Dillon: I want to keep my teeth."
