| Trivia | The original plot had a scene where Ned Beatty's character is humiliated and abused by Michael Madsen in a golf cart. The scene was shot, but CBS felt that it would make impossible for the film to be exhibited in their regular broadcast, so it was cut out, much for the protest of Beatty. See more » |
