Film debut of Leslie Zemeckis (as Leslie Harter) (the future Mrs. Robert Zemeckis), though she did have a small role as a model in Over Exposed (1984) almost ten years before.
Originally titled Edge of Innocence, but Martin Scorsese's The Age of Innocence (1993) was being released at the same time so the makers of the film changed the title to Jailbait, with the foreign title being named Streetwise.
