Trivia
Burt Reynolds had long been a fan of Cary Grant and it inspired his performance in Rough Cut. In doing the role of John L. Sullivan IV in this picture, Reynolds got to play a part once played by his idol Grant who had played the same role (as Walter Burns) in Howard Hawks earlier filmed version of the Ben Hecht -Charles MacArthur play "The Front Page", His Girl Friday.
