The movie was completed in 1996 but not released until two years later.
The film cast includes two Oscar winners: Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Lange; and two Oscar nominees: Hal Holbrook and Nina Foch.
At one point, the film was slated for a summer 1997 release.
Jessica Lange has stated on more than one occasion that she does not care for this film. The watered down ending that had to be reshot was most assuredly a factor in her opinion.
