The Deep End (2001)
Trivia
Margaret's date of birth is November 5, 1960. That's also Tilda Swinton's date of birth.
Tilda Swinton, in consensus with the directors, cut her signature long hair to shoulder-length for the first time in nearly two decades in order to play Margaret Hall.
This is a remake of the 1949 Columbia film, The Reckless Moment, starring Joan Bennett and James Mason, directed by Max Ophuls. Both films were based on the story "The Blank Wall" by Elisabeth Sanxay Holding.
One of the promotional items distributed during the film's release was a notebook with a cover fashioned to look like the license plate of the Corvette driven by Darby Reese (Josh Lucas).
Director Cameo
Scott McGehee, David Siegel: as the EMTs from the ambulance that arrive to pick up Jack.
Spoilers
