While convincing Philip Baker Hall to do the film by explaining the significance of the rain of frogs, the actor told him a story about when he was in the mountains of Italy and got caught in bad weather—a mix of rain, snow and tiny frogs.
Dok je nagovarao Philipa Bakera Hilla da snimi film objašnjavajući mu značaj kiše žaba, glumac mu je ispričao priču o tome kad je bio u planinama Italije i našao se u nevremenu - mješavinu kiše, snijega i malih žaba.
