Contains several references to the plays of Tennessee Williams who, despite having been born in Mississippi, grown up in Missouri, died in New York, and was nicknamed "Tennessee," was still strongly associated with New Orleans, the setting for this movie. Williams lived for many years in New Orleans, wrote and set several of his plays there, and met his longtime boyfriend Frank Merlo, there; the city hosts an annual literary festival named for Williams. References include: Charlotte calling her father "Big Daddy," the name of the wealthy patriarch character in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," and during the party, La Bouff calls for his dog, Stella, using the distinctive cry from "A Streetcar Named Desire." John Goodman, the voice of La Bouff, lives in New Orleans and has starred in several productions of Williams plays, including A Streetcar Named Desire (1995) and a 2005 Geffen Playhouse production of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (as the original "Big Daddy").
