Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director John Bailey was primarily a cinematographer (Ordinary People, The Big Chill) — this was his second and final feature as director.
Released in 1994, it arrived just as the erotic thriller boom was collapsing post-Basic Instinct — tanking at box office despite Ed Harris's committed performance.
