TRIVIA ABOUT THE SLENDER THREAD FROM IMDB.COM:
Although top-billed, Sidney Poitier and Anne Bancroft don’t appear on-screen together in a single scene. Bancroft later repeated this odd accomplishment when she and Sir Anthony Hopkins co-starred, but played no scenes together, in 84 Charing Cross Road (1987).
Sydney Pollack’s feature film directorial debut. Pollack had worked for years in television before getting his break with this film.
Originally titled “Cross My Heart And Hope To Die” and slated to star Elizabeth Ashley (who was forced to drop out over a contract dispute).
During the opening sequence of the film, there’s a view of a man piloting a boat, and the boat’s name is “Silliphant”, which is a reference to Screenwriter Stirling Silliphant.
