The film takes place in the city in which Jake Abraham's father and grandfather were raised.
The title is a reference to each of the three lead characters in the film. Morgan being 'Daddy', Falchek being 'War', and Leroux being 'Bucks'.
The film was inspired by films adapted from plays that were released during the same era as the film takes place.
Although set in Louisiana, the film was shot entirely in Texas.
The year 1951 in which the film takes place, is the same year that A Streetcar Named Desire was released in theaters, by which the film was influenced heavily.
