* StarringAStarAsAStar: While her main role is aspiring actress Elsa Brinkmann[=/=]Campbell, Creator/KimNovak also plays Lylah Clare in the flashback scenes, so the film still counts with a sex symbol from TheFifties as a sex symbol from UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood.

* ActorAllusion: 10 years after ''Film/{{Vertigo}}'', Creator/KimNovak again plays a woman who's made over by an obsessive older man into a duplicate of his long-lost love. This time, though, it's Novak's character who has trouble with heights. Another ''Vertigo'' cast member shows up too: Ellen Corby (the hotel manager) as the Lylah {{Biopic}}'s script supervisor.

* CreatorKiller: This was Novak's first film in three years, thanks to a combination of an injury and burnout with Hollywood. Playing a challenging role in an ambitious film seemed like a good chance to restart her career. Instead, the bad reviews and box office for a film where she was front-and-center damaged her reputation for good, and she mainly focused on TV after that, with the occasional low-budget film or supporting role in a larger film.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Didn't get a home video release until the 2011 DVD edition, leaving occasional TV airings as the only way to see it, which gave the film an added mystique along with its SoBadItsGood reputation.
