Stanley Kubrick greatly admired this film, calling it "a new way to have talk advance the narrative." He was especially impressed with Thomas Gibson, and cast him in Eyes Wide Shut (1999) without an audition on the basis of his performance here.
The plot was first suggested to director Whit Stillman when he heard of An Officer and a Gentleman (1982) and thought it referred to two different people.
The princesses' costumes were on loan from the production of Dangerous Liaisons (1988).
Chronologically this takes place after The Last Days Of Disco even though The Last Days Of Disco was filmed after Barcelona.
This film is part of the Criterion Collection, spine #807.
"Fred: Maybe you can clarify something for me. Since I've been, you know, waiting for the fleet to show up, I've read a lot, and... Ted: Really? Fred: And one of the things that keeps popping up is this about "subtext." Plays, novels, songs - they all have a "subtext," which I take to mean a hidden message or import of some kind. So subtext we know. But what do you call the message or meaning that's right there on the surface, completely open and obvious? They never talk about that. What do you call what's above the subtext? Ted: The text. Fred: OK, that's right, but they never talk about that."
"Fred: You are far weirder than someone merely into S&M. At least they have a tradition. We have some idea what S&M is about. There's movies and books about it. But so far as I know, there is nothing to explain the way you are."
