** Creator/ElijahWood came very close to getting the role of Thomas J, but it went to Macaulay Culkin after the success of ''Film/HomeAlone''.

* WriterRevolt: Howard Zieff made sure to not make the period setting too on the nose, as he wanted the audience to not think of it as a period movie, but a ComingOfAgeStory that just happened to take place in the 70s.
