A short story by W. P. Kinsella, "Lieberman in Love", was the basis for the film.[http://www.wpkinsella.com/biography.html W.P. Kinsella] The Oscar win came as a surprise to Kinsella, who, watching the award telecast from home, had no idea the film had been made and released. He was not listed in the film's credits or acknowledged by Lahti in her acceptance speech. A full-page advertisement ran in Variety apologizing to Kinsella for the error.[https://bcbooklook.com/2016/09/18/w-p-kinsella/ #188 W.P. Kinsella|BC Booklook]
