Trivia
The film was completed in 1991, but was shelved and not released theatrically until three years later. This was due to studio production house Orion Pictures' bankruptcy.

Goofs
The major has a full serving of "scrambled eggs" which is reserved for Generals. A Major is entitled to wear only a single row of Oak Leaves on the bill of his cap.

Quotes
Hank Marshall: You take water, for example. Sometimes it's water, sometimes it's ice. Sometimes it's steam, vapor. It always the same old H2O. It only changes its properties. Your mother's like that. She's like water.

Doesn't live up to it's own ambition.

You get the sense that we are meant to walk away from this film thinking it was something really special. Lange even won an Oscar for playing the bi polar slutty housewife.

I can't help but feel that it all falls apart, especially in the second half. Things get wrapped up far too quickly and easily, nothing though is really resolved, especially in a realistic manner.

In the end it's another film that leaves you wanting to watch something good.
