- CuriosidadesThe "Emmet Foley" character is based on real life Christopher Calhoun (b.1934), an inmate of the Florida State Hospital in Chattahoochee, Florida from 1956 to 1962. He moved to Los Angeles after his release and wrote about and became an activist for similarly abused people. In a more modern time he would have been diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) because of his combat in Korea, which is depicted at the beginning of the film.

- Citações
Emmett Foley: I got one for you, Baker. There's these two goldfish, see, having this argument. And then one of them gets madder than hell. He gets so mad, he just swims away... and sits there for a long time in the corner of his goldfish bowl, sulking. And then all of a sudden, he gets this real smirky look on his face. So he sidles up to this other fish... and real smart-like, he says: 'Oh, good. If there's no God, then who changes the water?'
- Cenas durante ou pós-créditosThe producers would like to thank the people of Columbia and Newberry, South Carolina for their generosity and support during the making of this film.
However, Gary Oldman simply transcends acting like no other actor in the world. He is magnificent in this role of a desperate, but good and sincere man.
The movie might not be for the squeamish - but it IS for people who enjoy stories of true heroism - portrayed by a genius like Mr. Oldman.
I would LOVE it if critics would re-discover this motion picture for its greatness in plot, and its acting.
Overlooking Gary Oldman's performance in this film is the biggest crime since "Oliver" won the Best Picture Oscar over "2001".....
Will they never learn?
