This was the last film to actually be released and distributed by the now-defunct Savoy Pictures. This movie was also one of the studio's costliest flops in terms of the film's budget, which studio insiders had stated was approximately between $35-50 million.
Andy Garcia had to go through several dozen costumes a day to portray the twin characters in the film.
The film is considered to be a takeoff of Frank Capra's "It's A Wonderful Life"
Dominik Garcia's debut.
