Film
1065: Sea of Love
Trivia: The
apprehension of criminals by arranging a "Meet the Yankees" breakfast
was based on an actual event.
Novelist
Richard Price originally
wrote the screenplay for Dustin
Hoffman, but he wanted too many rewrites so Al Pacino took over the
role.
According
to the documentary included with the DVD, included in the final cut of the film
is a scene where Al Pacino's
character gets rudely bumped into on 5th Avenue while trying to court Ellen Barkin's character.
According to the director this was an unscripted moment caused by a real New
Yorker and not an extra. Pacino incorporates the moment into his performance
and continues without missing a beat.
When
Frank Keller is trying to convince his Lieutenant to let him try the restaurant
sting operation without wearing a wire, he says "What is she gonna do,
confess? Shoot me? We're in a restaurant!!" Al Pacino famously played
Michael Corleone in a scene where he shot a cop in a restaurant, which was also
supposed to be improbable.
