What's left behind the scenes

The film is based on the play of the same name by Scott McPherson, which premiered on Broadway on November 15, 1991.
Other candidates for the role of Bessie, which was played by Diane Keaton, included Sigourney Weaver, Anjelica Huston, and Kathleen Turner.
The role of Marvin in this film was the last big-screen appearance of veteran actor Hume Cronyn. In the remaining years of his life, he appeared exclusively in television projects.
