Film Notes

The associate producer, Arnold Glimcher, was the owner of a New York art gallery before he produced the film. He later went on to direct "The Mambo Kings" (1992).
Chelsea Deardon's performance art piece was conceived by Daryl Hannah, Arnold Glimcher, and Lin Hixon.
Pyrotechnics in the arson and fire scenes were provided by Boss Film.

Industry Reviews
"...[Winger] demonstrates...that she's one of her generation's few first-rate screen comediennes....A lighthearted mystery-thriller..."
New York Times - Vincent Canby (06/18/1986)
"...[The] roles represent a refreshing departure for Winger in a strong, self-assured part and a perfect choice for Redford playing Redford..."
