Wissenswertes
Estelle Getty originated the role of Ma Beckoff on Broadway. She was unavailable filming Golden Girls (1985) as Sophia, Dorothy's mother, to reprise the part for the movie so Anne Bancroft was cast instead.

Patzer
Arnold hires a car service to take him and Ma to the cemetery, and the car is seen waiting for them. But when Ma storms off and leaves in the car, it's not the same driver that brought them to the cemetery.

Zitate
Arnold: It's easier to love someone who's dead. They make so few mistakes.

Preaching to the Converted, but How Sweet it Is

TST is like Harvey Fierstein himself: you love it or you loathe it; I love it. Preachy and heavy-handed as "Torch" is at times, it's also a brilliant, hilarious, and truly heartfelt look at how gay men love each other and their families. Arnold Beckoff, like Harvey, apologizes to no one for who and what he his, and his pride is infectious. And Matthew Broderick, as Arnold's model lover, has never been more appealing.
