Debut feature film produced screenplay of writer Michael Cristofer. The script for this film first surfaced in Hollywood during the early 1980s.

'Robert de Niro' emphasized authenticity and attention to detail on the film. De Niro did this by having business cards made up for his character even though they are never seen in the film. Moreover, for the telephone conversation with his wife, de Niro got writer Michael Cristofer to write dialogue for his spouse's part even though it was not in the script nor going to be heard by audiences.

Goofs

When Frank is talking to Victor at a construction site, the camera crew is reflected twice in succession in plates of glass that they pass.

During several exterior Metro North run-by's, the film sequences are shown inverted. Trains coming towards the camera should run on the viewers left (as trains and cars both drive on the right in the US) and the motorman's front window should be on the viewers left, as seen in the sequences shot in Grand Central Terminal.

When trying on clothes prior to meeting Frank in NYC, Molly takes off the striped dress and tosses it in the pile on the bed. In the next shot the dress is visible on her arm as she continues to look through clothes hanging in the closet.

Quotes

Molly Gilmore: [talking to Isabelle about Frank] No, I think about him every day. Last thought before I fall asleep and first thought when I wake up. I talk to myself all day about him, even when I'm talking to somebody else, even when I'm talking to you now I'm talking to myself about him. Brian thinks I'm ill, he thinks that it has to do with my father, he thinks the stress and, you know, all that... Thinks I'm having a breakdown, but I'm not, there's nothing wrong with me. Except that I love him.
