What's left behind the scenes

  • The sporting goods store in the film is actually a bowling alley, where the Farrelly brothers once shot their film 'Kingpin' (1996).
  • James states that his parents live in the town of Carvel. This is a fictional town where Andy Hardy and his family, the heroes of a popular 1930-40s series, lived.
  • The manuscript that Grady pulled from James' backpack is actually the handwritten beginning of Michael Chabon's novel 'The Mysteries of Pittsburgh'.
  • Among the guests at the head of the English department's house, one can spot writer James Ellroy. Ellroy is the author of "L.A. Confidential," which Curtis Hanson adapted into a film of the same name in 1997.
  • The list of famous suicides is a list compiled by Kenneth Anger in his book "Hollywood Babylon."
  • One of the bridges of Pittsburgh appears in all the key scenes of the film.
  • James discusses the suicide of actor Joseph Sanders. Later, footage of Sanders from the 1945 film "The Picture of Dorian Gray" flashes on television.
  • James also mentions that actress Carol Landis overdosed on pills, but can't remember when it happened. Landis committed suicide on July 5, 1948.
  • On James's table lie books – Albert Camus's "The Plague," Truman Capote's "Answered Prayers," and Kenneth Anger's "Hollywood Babylon."
  • The filming proceeded sequentially, scene by scene – as they appear in the film.
  • Most of the scenes were filmed at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
  • Monroe's jacket is hidden in a locked cabinet, which can be opened by entering the code 5641. This refers to the 56 winning games of baseball player Joe DiMaggio, one of Marilyn Monroe's husbands, and 41, i.e., 1941, the year it happened.
  • James Leer describes paradise as one large greenhouse. This is a reference to John Boorman's film "Zardoz" (1974), in which the inhabitants of a utopian society walked in white robes and lived in crystal houses.
