This movie made less than two million dollars, on an eight million dollars budget.
This movie marks French actress Emmanuelle Béart's first role in an English-language motion picture.
Director Tom McLoughlin auditioned and wanted to cast Jim Carrey in the lead role. Producer Dino DeLaurentiis vetoed it as he thought Carrey was too much of a comedian and not leading man material.
Produced by the failing De Laurentiis Entertainment Group, this would be the last of their movies that the company would distribute itself. In its final years, other studios would release their movies.
The poster of the piano score on Jim's bedroom wall is The Entertainer by Scott Joplin, albeit an easier rendition.
Tom McLoughlin: The man in church who comes out of the confessional booth. When he sees the angel, he bumps into candles and his sleeve catches on fire.
