John Cusack was only 15 at the time of Filming making him the youngest cast member.
In a 2013 interview, when Virginia Madsen was asked about this role, she refused to talk about it. All she said was "Those guys were assholes. They were really shitty to me. It was bad. Bad memories."
The movie featured three members of the Cusack family in acting roles: father Dick Cusack, daughter Joan Cusack and son John Cusack.
After the film's release, actress Jacqueline Bisset publicly expressed her dissatisfaction with its editing as being deleterious to her character's "subtext".
The picture is part of a mini early-to-mid 1980s cycle of Hollywood movies where a young man has an affair with a more mature woman. This has started after the box-office success of the late 1970s Canadian film In Praise of Older Women (1978). The films include: Class (1983), My Tutor (1983), Private Lessons (1981), In the Mood (1987), They're Playing with Fire (1984) and Risky Business.
