Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Frank D. Gilroy was a Pulitzer-winning playwright; this was his penultimate directing gig. The man wrote 'The Subject Was Roses' and ended here.
This premiered on Showtime in 1998, part of that glorious era when prestige actors did pay-cable movies nobody remembered by Monday. Scheider was coming off 'SeaQuest DSV' cancellation and clearly said yes to everything.
