[Musical Mondays Week 100 Light of Day]

Before Joan Jett was cast as Patti, a forgotten singer named Fiona Flanagan was offered by Paul Schrader to play the part. It didn't work out, but later in 1987, Fiona would soon star in her own movie alongside Bob Dylan and Rupert Everett called "Hearts of Fire", which is something we can do down the line eventually.  

[Musical Mondays Week 100 Light of Day]

With Patty Hearst and The Comfort of Strangers having just been rescued from oblivion by being put out on Blu-ray, this now leaves Light of Day as the only film from Paul Schrader not to see a DVD/Blu-ray release here in the US. I can't imagine if the music rights had anything to do with that.

[Whispers in the Dark (1992)]

Annabella Sciorra leads an overly qualified cast (Jamey Sheridan, Alan Alda, John Leguizamo, Anthony LaPaglia, Jill Clayburgh, Deborah Kara Unger) about a psychiatrist who becomes intrigued by her patient's revelations of sadomasochistic sexual behavior while hooking up with her patient's ex-lover, and then when the patient is murdered, things get complicated.
