Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPaul (Will Smith) passes himself off as Sidney Poitier's son. In real-life, when Smith met Poitier for the first time, the veteran actor said, "well, you're almost handsome enough to be my son."
- GoofsWhen Paul is on the phone to Ouisa he calls Flan (Donald Sutherland) "Donald".
- Quotes
Ouisa Kittredge: I read somewhere that everybody on this planet is separated by only six other people. Six degrees of separation between us and everyone else on this planet. The President of the United States, a gondolier in Venice, just fill in the names. I find it extremely comforting that we're so close. I also find it like Chinese water torture, that we're so close because you have to find the right six people to make the right connection... I am bound, you are bound, to everyone on this planet by a trail of six people.
- Alternate versionsThe Brazilian DVD version (released by Flashstar, presenting as part of MGM classics) states the known running time of 112 minutes but it's heavily edited and does not run in such entirety. The sequence where Paul presents his thesis to the Kittredges is totally removed; and the nudity from the male hustler is slightly edited down.
