Trivia:
As the film was delayed, Joe Jackson's score was replaced by John Barry who was brought in to beef up the dramatic aspects of the now chronological version of the film. The film would feature about close to 30 minutes of his original score. However, a few scenes in the film did in fact feature a couple of the songs Jackson wrote based on his original score. moreQuotes:

Philip: Are you the girl with the, uh, C scale out of tune?

This movie is compelling because the character of Betty is so innocent about what is going on in this murky tennis coach. It makes it easy to see how a normal person could find themselves in way over their heads without knowing it. The kitchen scene with the pal of Mike's who manages to get away from the bad guys is gut wrenching. Debra Winger has never gotten the breaks that she richly is due. I feel that it is compelling that the late Bette Davis stated that of the new actresses that Ms Winger was the most like her and I don't think that she was merely referring to their bad press.
