    • Trivia
      The last MGM/United Artists release to be released on home video by CBS/Fox Video.
    • Goofs
      Katherine's business is called "Designs by Katherine" as stated by her, her employees, and on the back door of her store, but when Richard looks at the credit card imprint, it is written as "Flowers by Katherine."
    • Alternate versions
      Lifetime television version omits a couple of scenes for time and content including:
      • Lisa and her mother discussing the popularity of the restaurant before they are seated.
      • An emotional conversation between Lisa and Wendy's family in which the subject of Lisa's grandparents is brought up.
      • The struggle with Richard is shortened. Shots of him pulling the knife from his chest are cut. Also omitted is a frame of his battered corpse laying on the pavement after he falls from the window.

    This movie takes me back!
    "Lisa" takes me back when I was about 11 or 12 years old. Sometimes bad movies can be good if you grew up watching them. I watch this movie now and I say: "Ok it was kind of stupid, but I still like it". I don't know, I guess I am hooked on the whole fact of Lisa being this stupid kid doing the exact opposite of what I would have done. I get a kick out of watching movies; especially if it is dealing with other people's problems,it makes me feel better if I am having a bad day. Still the movie has it's suspense, and charm, and its about a 14 year old girl making really stupid mistakes, and of course paying for them! Haven't we all! I still love this movie and I'm still going to buy it!
