Curiosidades
The apartment building where Wanda's apartment was located was an actual building where Charles Bukowski and his lover Jane Baker Cooley, the real-life counterparts to Henry and Wanda, had lived. No one knew this until Bukowski, who was watching the filming, remembered.

Pifias
When Henry gets out of bed, Tully has terrible bedhead as their conversation starts. When the view cuts back to her a second later, her hair is neatly brushed.

Citas
Wanda Wilcox: I can't stand people, I hate them.
Henry: Oh yeah?
Wanda Wilcox: Do you hate them?
Henry: No, but I seem to feel better when they're not around.

Not your typical Golan-Globus production

Barfly is a rarity in American cinema: a character study that doesn't worry about telling a story with a beginning, middle, and explosive end. Mickey Rourke is excellent as Henry Chinaski, a writer and habitue of skid row who isn't so much slumming as soaking in it. The real surprise here is Faye Dunaway as his love interest: it's easily her best performance since Chinatown and proves she still has it. Also of note is Frank Stallone as Eddie, the barman who keeps getting into one sided fist fights with Henry. A triumph and one of the best American films of the eighties.
