Kay King: She spent the whole time reading a book. Well, don't you think a child her age would be more interested in watching a movie being made?
Richard King: It depends on the book.
Trivia: In the country where the film was made, extras are not hired. The people in the background are just normal people. Watch the background during the scene where the young couple is talking in front of a subway staircase and you will see a boy flipping off the camera.
