Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film's budget allowed $600 for Matt Dillon to learn to play craps in real games. To make sure the money lasted, a film crew member always bet against him for the same amount so their wins and losses cancelled out.
- GoofsAlthough the film is set in 1957, when J.C. Cullen (Matt Dillon) and Aggie Donaldson (Suzy Amis) get off the street car, there is a 1980s model Cadillac in the street behind them, followed by another late-model car.

Could Have Been More
Considering the big name cast and lavish production I expected a lot more of this film. The acting for the most part is great, although the story they have to work with is mediocre at best. However the film still warrants watching because of the acting and the stars and some and up and coming young talent.
