Trivia:
Over twenty years after this movie was made, D.W. Moffett played Aidan Quinn's brother in an episode of Quinn's show "The Book of Daniel." Quinn says on the commentary track for Early Frost, An (1985) (TV) that when the producers of "The Book of Daniel" were casting the brother role, they asked Quinn if he knew Moffett. Quinn told them he did, and recommended Moffett for the role, but deliberately omitted the fact that the last time they had worked together, they had played lovers for fear that the producers would then not want to cast them as brothers. more

This film was a very courageous undertaking by all who where involved, however the love between the two men was not believable. The emotions flowed, but the body language told me otherwise.
