    • Trivia
      Actor Rob Lowe recalled that when his agent sent him the script by messenger, "a strange thing happened. I started reading it in the bathtub. I was only going to skim the first few pages. But by page 73, the water was cold, and I was totally into the character. We hadn't even discussed whether I'd do the picture . . . but I knew that nothing could stop me".
    • Goofs
      When Danny enters the bar on St. Patrick's Day he is soaking wet. When he and Debbie go outside seconds later Danny is completely dry.
    • Quotes

      Debbie: Bullshit. You don't know what love is. You've gotten everything you have always wanted and now you're feeling sorry for yourself because there's something you want and you can't have it. But you had it! I gave you love. But you asked me to leave and I left.

    • Alternate versions
      Despite the fact that India takes issues with sex, the film was never released in India during the '80s, but the film was given a 'U' (unrestricted) certificate for television showings only in the Chennai region in 2007. It is clearly unknown if it was cut or uncut.

    love, friendship, other details
    a lovely film. not only charming love story or inspired portrait of ordinary social relations but just a nice, seductive film , with a beautiful dose of realism and good humour. a film about the way to be happy, against yours fears, friends advises, not the best appearances, errors and expectations. or the result of a too happy night. against all the forms of prudence about it, the air of "80 s is the right cure against the perspectives about present. because the film becomes, scene by scene, a kind of prophecy. about every day problems, about crisis and insecure decisions, about the other as challenge. and the solutions proposed are not bad.
