 This would be the last Tom Cruise (qv) / Paula Wagner (qv) film  distributed by Paramount. After the release, Paramount owner  Sumner Redstone (qv) decided not to renew their distribution  rights. Apparently, Redstone was disgusted by Cruises recent  antics, particularly his appearance on  _"Oprah Winfrey Show, The" (1986)_ (qv). Following that, Cruise and  his partner Wagner had resurrected the United Artists company, which  had closed a few years previously.
