Did You Know?
| Trivia | Upon meeting Frank at the restaurant, Lucie says she's happy that he's not "Fat, with long black hair and greasy skin full of acne" which, whilst not flattering, would be an apt description of Joe Spinell's Frank, in the original. See more » |
| Goofs | When Frank drives his van back to his studio apartment, it's night. Upon changing scenes, it's now day - not sunrise in this case as it would take quite some time before the sun would come up. See more » |
