Between takes and when not filming, lead actor David Bowie composed songs, sketched drawings, wrote short stories, planned an autobiography to be titled "The Return of the Thin White Duke", filmed on a 16mm newsreel camera that director Nicolas Roeg had given him, and read books, including a biography of silent film comedian Buster Keaton. This was in preparation for a biopic of Keaton, whom Bowie was to play.
The picture was temporarily scored with music from Pink Floyd's album "The Dark Side of the Moon".
Toward the end of the film, in the record store, Bryce walks past a display for David Bowie's "Young Americans" album.
According to costume designer May Routh, David Bowie was so thin that some of his outfits were boys' clothes.
Candy Clark, with a large black hat strategically pulled low over her face, played Thomas Jerome Newton in one scene while David Bowie was ill and unavailable to work the day it was shot.
"Thomas Jerome Newton: We'd have probably done the same to you, if you'd come 'round our place."
"Thomas Jerome Newton: Ask me... Nathan Bryce: What? Thomas Jerome Newton: The question you've been wanting to ask ever since we met. Nathan Bryce: Are you Lithuanian? Thomas Jerome Newton: [grins] I come from England. Nathan Bryce: Ah, that's not so terrible."
