Trivia:

In the scene at Skagg's studio, he's working on a painting of a dead man lying in a red convertible with his arm trailing along the edge of the door. The pose Jerzy's model is in is a homage to 'The Death of Marat', a 1793 painting by Jacques-Louis David. Jean-Paul Marat was a political figure in the French Revolution before his assassination in 1793. Art imitating life imitating Art.

Goofs:

Continuity: When the artist is first being interviewed by Brass in his studio his headphones switch position between camera shots. Close up they are twisted round so the band is in front of his throat; when Brass is also in the shot the earpieces are either side as if he's just removed them from his ears.
