    • Trivia
      After seeing the object of his obsession in this film, in which she appeared in bed with a male actor, Robert John Bardo decided there and then that actress Rebecca Schaeffer should die. After getting her home address in Los Angeles, Bardo showed up on her doorstep on July 18, 1989 with a .357 Magnum revolver and confronted the young actress. After getting her autograph, Bardo wandered off but returned an hour later. He rang her doorbell and when Schaeffer responded, Bardo shot her, point blank, in the chest. She screamed "why?!" before collapsing in a pool of blood. Her murder woke Hollywood up to the dangers of stalkers towards celebrities. Bardo is serving a life sentence, without the possibility of parole, for the murder. The Driver's Protection Privacy Act was subsequently enacted in 1994 because Bardo was able to pay a private investigator a small fee to obtain Schaeffer's address from the DMV.

      To-Bel: [to her husband] A few months ago, your buddy Howard, here, did some exploration of certain dark parts of my continent.

      Howard: I don't know what you're talking about. I never met this woman before in my life.

      To-Bel: The fuck you didn't! Dr. Doolittle, here, went so deep into areas unexplored by your feeble playwrightin' ass, that I got to thinkin' he was Lewis *and* Clark.

    An under-appreciated gem
    This movie is outrageous, funny, ribald, sophisticated & hits the bullseye where 99 % of Hollywood movies don't even make the target. Paul Bartel should be recognized as one of the great directors of this or any era. He's the American Renoir & Bunuel _ combined!!! Glad I have the videodisc.
