* SwanSong: Anne Bancroft's last movie before she died. It wasn't even completed when she died.
* TroubledProduction: During the film's production, Anne Bancroft had to record in a studio in New York, but due to the poor and cramped quality of the booths, they had to record with the door open. This resulted in her voice recordings to have buzzsaw and toilet noises in certain scenes, regardless of the editors trying to clean it up. She recorded 75% of her lines before her death.

* DoingItForTheArt: Director Marc Adler spent years scraping up funds outside the studio system, constantly refining technology and establishing his own studio in [[UsefulNotes/GeorgiaUSA Atla]][[UsefulNotes/{{Atlanta}} nta]]. When it came time for distribution, he chose distributor-for-hire Freestyle Releasing and the film was all set to become an indie success story, with Adler possibly being a new Creator/RalphBakshi. Going by the abysmally low gross, this was certainly not the case.
