[[Bruce Willis]] reportedly agreed to a substantial pay cut to appear in the film, accepting the [[SAG-AFTRA]] scale of $1,400 per week at a time when the actor was earning roughly $15 million for his action movies, since Willis was very eager to star alongside [[Paul Newman]]. Fearing that Willis' fame as action star could lead people into the film with false expectations, the film wasn't advertised with him and his name does not appear in the opening credits, only in the closing credits.<ref>{{cite web |last=Welkos |first=Robert W. |title=Yes, Virginia, That Was Bruce Willis |work=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=January 29, 1995 |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-01-29-ca-25586-story.html |access-date=April 6, 2016}}</ref>
