As of 2023, this is the only film written by Aaron Sorkin to not receive a single Oscar or Golden Globe nomination for any category.
The film was originally intended to be filmed at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts. But after reviewing the script treatment, the college president at the time declined (at the last minute), due to the "serial rapist" element. The movie was then quickly moved to Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. Smith College only agreed as long as the college name was changed.
A sign for the fictional college was placed at the Smith College campus location the day before it was to be shot, but was stolen that night and never recovered.
In the opening credits, the home that the college student returns to is the former residence of President Calvin Coolidge.
One of a cycle of thrillers made during the early 1990s which were set around husband and wife characters. The films include Malice (1993), Deceived (1991), Shattered (1991), Mortal Thoughts (1991), Consenting Adults (1992), Unlawful Entry (1992), Presumed Innocent (1990), Guilty as Sin (1993), Sleeping with the Enemy (1991) and A Kiss Before Dying (1991).
