    • Trivia
      Filmed in a small town in Connecticut known as Thompson, located in the northeast corner of the state.
    • Goofs
      When John and Brad are depicted as being on the train to New York City, the scenes through the train car's windows are bouncing up and down as if the rear-screen projection shots used were from a vehicle on the road, not from a train.
