Trivia
Warner Bros. wanted Jeremy Irons and Ray Liotta for the roles of Cesar and Nestor. Irons screen tested with Antonio Banderas. But Arne Glimcher fought for Armand Assante and Banderas whom he felt were perfect for the roles. See more »Goofs
It is 1952 and the family is watching an episode of the TV series Cheyenne which did not premiere until 1955. See more »Quotes
Anna Maria: He thinks he's the last Coca Cola in the desert.Lanna Lake: Honey, he is.

Really, really great. Armand Assante is unbelievably good as Cesar, and the whole supporting cast is outstanding. Great music, and beautiful cinematography as well. The quality of the color in this film lends a vintage look and feel that is in keeping in the spirit of the story and timeframe. Especially amazing considering that I didn't even vaguely enjoy any other movie by this director!
