Trivia
Michelle Pfeiffer reportedly did not get along with writer/director Robert Towne with Towne labeling her as "the most difficult actress I have ever worked with." This however was most likely due to Towne's reputed perfectionism and the fact that Pfeiffer was going through a divorce during the time of filming. See more »Goofs
Continuity: When Pfeiffer is at the police station getting her chef released, Russell pulls up and parks directly in front of her car. When they leave the station, his car isn't there and Pfeiffer is able to drive away unobstructed. See more »Quotes
Jo Ann: I'm sorry. I was just joking. I didn't mean to hurt you.Dale McKussic: Aw, come on. It didn't hurt that bad. Just looking at you hurts more.
