Trivia

Bridget at one point in the film gives her name as "Mrs. Neff." This is a reference to the film noir Double Indemnity
(1944).
Fiorentino was considered a possible Oscar nominee for the film, but because the film was shown on cable television (HBO) before it was released to theaters in 1994, it was disqualified.
