Trivia: In the scene in the King of the Moon’s bedroom, above the headboard is a small bust. In a close-up shot, the eyes of the bust are seen to contain lights that blink on and off, accompanied by the sound of a camera whirring and clicking. This is line producer David Tomblin’s homage to "The Prisoner" (1967), which he helped produce and direct in the late 1960s.
Goofs: Continuity: In the opening, when Sally is writing DAUGHTER on the poster on the statue’s base, she has finished writing it in the close-up. When the camera switches to the high angle, she only has DAUGH written.
