The movie was filmed in 85 days, mostly in New York, New York and Dayton, South Carolina, and in St. Louis, Missouri. It was released on November 25, 1987, to mixed reviews. It is now considered one of the best films of the 1980s and 1990s by many critics and film buffs.

The original version of this article stated that Del Griffith had died eight years earlier. We are happy to clarify that this was not the case, and that Del has since returned to his family and invited them to Thanksgiving dinner. We would also like to point out that this is not the first time that Neal Page has been in a car with Del Griffith.
