Old Shame is In-Universe only


* CreatorBacklash: Creator/JodieFoster isn't too fond of this film. She particularly disliked the scenes with the dead hamster and the scene in which she appears to be nude. (The nude scene was actually performed by her older sister, but Foster was mortified that people might think it was her.)

* RealLifeRelative: Because Jodie Foster was under legal age at the time, her older sister Connie stood in for her in the sex scene, which featured a bare butt, most of a side boob, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking a bad wig]].

** In the video release, at least, the sex scene is so non-explicit it would probably rate a PG-13 today, and you don't see anything bare but Rynn's shoulders and midriff. Was the cinematic cut different?
** Bare butt, most of a side boob, and a bad wig. Inappropriate for a 13 year old, for sure.

California doubling is when it's filmed in California......as the comment noted, this was filmed in Maine and Quebec, not California. The trope doesn't apply.


* CaliforniaDoubling: The movie was filmed both in Maine and in parts of Quebec, Canada.

* InformedJudaism: It's established in the novel that both Rynn and her father are Jewish, but the only reference in the film is a nasty, snide remark Cora makes about the wine that "you people" drink. Other than that, Rynn is not shown to be observant.

* NoAnimalsWereHarmed: The hamster [[spoiler:Frank Hallet throws into the fire]] was a real hamster...albeit a dead, frozen one acquired from a hospital. Nevertheless Foster was extremely upset and cried [[spoiler:during the scene where it was "killed".]] (In a happier note, the living Gordon the Hamster was adopted by the set designer after filming.)

* ExecutiveMeddling: Creator/JodieFoster went on record as saying one of the producers on this film was "nuts", explaining that he wanted her to show more skin and she refused. Foster had a terrible time with the sexual scene upstairs with Mario. Although her older sister did the shot, Foster was very upset that viewers would think this was her and fought and cried with the producers, to no avail.
