One of the main characters in this film relates how she memorized a record for a salesman at a Frigidaire store. Early in this film, an artist sings, "we must be doing something right to last 200 years." Like its director's earlier film, Thieves Like Us, its screenplay was written by Joan Tewkesbury. Geraldine Chaplin plays the BBC reporter Opal in this film, which opens with a van advertising the never-seen Replacement Party candidate Hal Phillip Walker driving through the title location.
