Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was made and released about seven years after its source novel of the same name by Michael Mewshaw had been first published in 1984. The book was semi-autobiographical. Mewshaw is a former Newsweek correspondent.
- GoofsThe movie supposed to take place in 1978, but a poster from Aki Kaurismäki's Leningrad Cowboys Go America (1989) can be seen.
- Alternate versionsThe US theatrical release and original home video release on VHS include English subtitles for all the Italian dialog parts in the film. Later releases, mastered from the original negative, for DVD and streaming, do not have any English subtitles for the Italian dialog scenes, making the story difficult to follow for non Italian speakers

Featured review
From the first moment I felt myself well entertained. I did not check the specifics, before after watching it, so I was surprised that it was made so many years after the kidnapping of Aldo Moro. The lighting and filming was stimulating from start to finish. And nothing wrong with the cutting neither. I remember nothing about the sound, so it much have done its job well. The filming ( the grittyness/grain ) and the format, made it seem a true timepiece, that maybe because of that, sometimes balances on the edge of kitsch.
