Trivia
Things worth knowing
- 130 years old — old enough to be someone's favourite childhood film.
- 2Lean credit list — fewer than 30 people officially credited.
- 3Directed by Michael Pavone, shot by Ross Berryman. Note their partnership — DPs and directors often return to each other across a career.
- 4Original score by John Debney. Worth a dedicated listen after — most great films lose half their impact without the score.
- 5Editor Joanne D'Antonio shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.
- 6Anthony LaPaglia and Kevin Pollak and Melora Hardin carry the top of the cast.
- 7IMDB entry: tt0112656 — still the authoritative cross-reference for credits and trivia.
- 8Only 6 TMDB ratings — you're getting ahead of the curve on this one.
