Partially financed with a grant from the Puerto Rico Department of Labor. The agency never read any versions of the screenplay before approving the grant.
The shooting ratio (i.e. total feet of film shot versus total feet of film used in the actual movie) for this film came to about 5-to-1. Studio films, on average, end up having a ratio of at least 20-to-1.
As of 2018: only exists in one 35mm print, a few soundtrack CD copies, and in a few VHS copies that were primarily made to satisfy contractual obligations with some of the film's actors.
