==Trivia==
* The first scenes filmed were the bathtub and staircase scenes, followed by the sex scene. No stunt doubles were used during the bathtub scene.
* Director Giuseppe Capotondi's first feature film in ten years. 
* Director Giuseppe Capotondi chose Lake Como as the main shooting location because of the lack of sunshine that reaches the place (it is situated in-between mountains). He felt that would give the film a sort of melancholic, dark, and eerie look.
* This is Mick Jagger's first significant big screen appearance since The Man from Elysian Fields (2001). The Rolling Stones singer appeared in roughly a dozen feature films over a twenty-year period, and it had been two decades since his last movie debuted in theaters. Director Giuseppe Capotondi heard that he was looking for a return to acting and sent him the script, before they met at the rocker's office in London. Despite only appearing in two scenes, Jagger was intrigued by the story and characters, and agreed to take the part. 
* In the Charles Willeford book it transpires that the Debney character has in fact never painted anything in his entire career despite becoming a legendary painter based on a series of critics reviews.
* Based on the book of the same name by author Charles Willeford, first published in 1971. The location was changed from the Everglades to the shores of Lake Como, Italy. 
* The painting in Bernice's mother's home from Debney at the very end is in blue- perhaps the blue he had been looking for. On the color wheel, blue and orange are complementary colors, and sit opposite each other. James creates burnt orange consequences for himself in the painting because it contains Bernice's truth (in her thumb print) and James' consequences (in his obvious fraud). Truth and consequences also complement each other in this movie as color theory does.
