Movie Quote(s):
- Peyton: My husband was my only family. He's the only one who really understood me... He took care of me. He was murdered. Claire: Murdered? Peyton: They never caught who did it. But I firmly believe, what goes around comes around.
-
Peyton: Are you a retard? Solomon: No Peyton: Did you like looking at me?... Did you like looking at me? Don't fuck with me, retard. My version of the story will be... better.
-
Peyton Flanders: When your husband makes love to you, it's my face he sees!
-
Marlene 'Marl' Craven: The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world.
-
Marlene 'Marl' Craven: Cancel my morning. Marlene's Assistant: But you have a showing! What do I tell them? Marlene 'Marl' Craven: You have a Harvard education, make something up!
Movie Trivia:
- After Claire discovers who Peyton really is, her husband calls the police. He reports the address as "808 Yakima". This is the actual street address of the house in which most of the movie was filmed.
-
The musical theme that is featured in the opening credits, that Payton hums when strolling the baby through the park, and that Michael hears on the radio at the climax is "Poor Wandering One", from the William S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan musical "The Pirates of Penzance".
-
Madeline Zima's film debut.
-
The title of the film is taken from the poem of the same name written by William Ross Wallace. The poem praises motherhood as the primary impetus for changing the world.
-
Rebecca De Mornay had actually been angling for the part of Tinkerbell in Hook (1991). Losing the role to Julia Roberts prompted her to actively seek something a little darker instead.
