Short description

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film was indeed shot in Greenwich Village, as the title suggests. This is a neighborhood on the west side of Lower Manhattan in New York City.
  • The film was shot and released approximately five years after the publication in 1979 of the novel of the same name by Vincent Patrick, which it was based on. Patrick also wrote the screenplay for the film.
  • For her role in this film, Geraldine Page (1924-1987) was nominated for an Academy Award in the category of Best Supporting Actress, despite appearing in only two scenes with a total duration of about 8 minutes.
