Trivia

The radio station where Robert is a disc jockey was based on the United Biscuits Network, which broadcast to factories owned by United Biscuits.

There are a number of references to the films of Wim Wenders, who is credited as associate producer. Early in the film, a copy of Patricia Highsmith's Ripley's Game is seen on a table in Robert's flat. Wenders' 1977 film The American Friend is based on this novel. The character played by Sting is called Just Like Eddie. In Wenders' film Kings of the Road, two of the characters sing along to the song Just Like Eddie by Heinz.
