Did you know
• The original plot had a scene where Ned Beatty's character is humiliated and abused by Michael Madsen in a golf cart. The scene was shot, but CBS felt that it would make impossible for the film to be exhibited in their regular broadcast, so it was cut out, much for the protest of Beatty.

What?
Poor update of the noir genre
Yep, passion and Ned Beatty. Two words that go together like liberals and conservatives.
