Trivia:

As Henry drives Louis and himself to the theater for the first time, Henry demonstrates that he is a wild driver, without concern for other drivers and pedestrians. At one point, a voice off-screen yells "Asshole!" This is what Otto would exclaim from time to time as he wildly drove through London in A Fish Called Wanda (1988). Both Henry and Otto are played by Kevin Kline.

Goofs:

Miscellaneous: As the main characters ride in a convertible out of the city, the background scenery of a cemetery is continuously repeated.

Quotes:

Henry Harrison:As Napoleon said, "If rape is imminent... relax and enjoy it"

A Kline Gem

Kevin Kline creates the sort of character we haven't seen in a long time, not since Clifton Webb, Noel Coward or even George Sanders, an actor dares to step into the uncomfortable zone with so much wit and panache. He is the reason to see the film and in my book, that's reason enough. Paul Dano is wonderful but he projects a strange feeling. As if he has been removed from the pot a bit too quickly. He doesn't look quite done yet. Thoroughly undercooked. One has the overwhelming feeling, he won't be able to survive in this world. The film, as film, doesn't have the aspirations of Paul Schrader's "The Walker" nor its darkness but if you're not put off by a slightly tentative direction, you're in for a treat.
