Despite starring in this movie, Kris Kristofferson himself has scorned it since. When fans come asking about the picture, he often pretends to not remember even filming it.
Martin Landau, despite co-starring in this film, often expressed embarrassment about having worked on it. He once met a fan the LAX Hilton, who brought up the movie. Landau smiled and shook his head before responding: "Of all the pictures I've made, why would you ask about *that* one?"
Lilyan Chauvin portrayed a different "Mother Superior" in the previous decade's Douce nuit, sanglante nuit (1984); this might or might not be an inside joke.
Maria Newman played the viola string in the opening ballet sequence to the film. Her stepfather is veteran film composer Robert O. Ragland who scored this film.
Made in 1991, released to theaters 2 years later. Its box office-take was slightly more than $135,000.
