A previous user review erroneously noted how Linda Hamilton appears "...just before the rape scene you see her walking up the steps outside the 2 main characters apartment. Then once inside it's a different actress altogether."
In fact, it is the same actress outside and inside the apartment. They are not two separate actresses. In a 1981 interview for The Philadelphia Inquirer, Ms. Hamilton mentioned her work on the film: "Two years ago I had four days' work in New York, playing a college girl, in a post-Vietnam feature not yet released, NIGHT FLOWERS. I had maybe five minutes on-screen. It was my only job that year." Actually, she appears on-screen for approximately ten minutes.
The reviewer concludes with "...can't say I blame Linda for not appearing in the following scene".
This really is not so farfetched where, although perhaps by coincidence, Linda would again portray a rape victim a few years later in the Made for TV Movie: RAPE AND MARRIAGE: THE RIDEOUT CASE.
