One morning Joe wakes up to find that Cynthia is gone. She' s left her wedding band placed on top of a note, reading: "I don't know who you are." Joe goes to nearby Los Angeles in search of her.

When the film was about to be released in England, Colin said, that "if you're unlucky" you might catch him in the independent American film of uncertain merits - Femme Fatale! [The Forte of Firth, June 1991].

"I don't like sex scenes you know" Colin admits in an interview 1997. "In fact, I hate them. There is nothing worse than watching bums going up and down on screen. It's unnecessary and awful for the audience to watch." [The Express, 30 March, 1997]
