Originally made for HBO, screenwriter Steve Barancik first pitched the film as a softcore-heavy direct-to-TV effort that would trade heavily in titillation.
At its core is actor Alain Delon's hitman: trenchcoat-clad, chiseled, a dude of few words.
While Lynch's neo-noir focuses mostly on an aspiring actress Naomi Watts playing amateur detective upon her arrival in Los Angeles, the film features a notorious lesbian love scene between Watts and her co-star, Laura Elena Harding.
