One of two films directed by actor Lou Diamond Phillips in 1994. The other film was Sioux City (1994).
Howard Stern was a fan of this movie. On his radio show he talked about how much he liked it, and it wasn't a paid plug.
Kate Vernon said she had so many nude scenes, she basically spent the first two weeks naked shooting with Lou Diamond Phillips. In an effort to insure privacy during those scenes, they cleared the set, but she said she still ended up naked surrounded by seven or eight production guys who had to be there.
Kate Vernon admits she passed on the project "the first time I saw the script because the material was so erotic and strong it frightened me. I hadn't done any major sex scenes before, and I just said no." Later she said yes - after being assured by Lou Diamond Phillips that the sexual content and the nudity would be handled artistically. Vernon said it wasn't as complicated as one might assume to do sex scenes with the actor who was also directing the movie. "We'd be in each other's arms, so he was right there whenever I needed to talk to him."
