TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Isabella Rossellini screen-tested to play Nathalie DeVille, but lost to Geraldine Chaplin.

According a number of critics and sources, this picture is somewhat of a companion piece to writer-director Alan Rudolph's later film Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle (1994).

Mick Jagger and Sam Shepard turned down the role of Bertram Stone, where it eventually went to John Lone.

Writer-director Alan Rudolph once described the film's script as "the most rejected screenplay in Hollywood".

Film critic Roger Ebert described this film as "...sort of a source study for the Paris of Ernest Hemingway in the 1920s; it's a movie about the raw material he shaped into 'The Sun Also Rises' and 'A Moveable Feast', and it also includes raw material for books by Gertrude Stein, Malcolm Cowley and Clifford Irving".

Popular Dialogues

"Oiseau: [while observing his own faked funeral] If it weren't for me, these people would think surreal was a breakfast food!"
