Paul Bowles, author - and thinly disguised subject - of the autobiographical novel on which the film is based, said, "It should never have been filmed. The ending is idiotic and the rest is pretty bad." This quote comes from a rare interview that was part of the film Let It Come Down: The Life of Paul Bowles (1998).
British actress Jill Bennett, former wife of British playwright and actor John Osborne, committed suicide shortly after filming ended on The Sheltering Sky.
The picture is actually narrated by the film's own source novelist Paul Bowles.
Natasha Richardson said she wrote Bernardo Bertolucci a long letter begging for the role of Kit which in the end was cast with Debra Winger.
John Malkovich's character, Port Moresby, has the same name as the capital city of Papua New Guinea.
"[last lines] Narrator: Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well, yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless."
"[first lines] Port Moresby: Well, terra firma. Tunner: We're probably the first tourists they've had since the war. Kit Moresby: Tunner, we're not tourists. We're travelers. Tunner: Oh. What's the difference? Port Moresby: A tourist is someone who thinks about going home the moment they arrive, Tunner. Kit Moresby: Whereas a traveler might not come back at all. Tunner: You mean *I'm* a tourist. Kit Moresby: Yes, Tunner. And I'm half and half."
