The film was a box-office failure at the time of its release, despite its cast and filmmaking. Critical reception was generally negative, with director Barry Levinson nominated for a Razzie Award for Worst Director (losing to David Seltzer for Shining Through). The film did, however, receive Oscar nominations for Art Direction (losing to Howards End) and Costume Design (losing to Bram Stoker's Dracula).[5] It was also entered into the 43rd Berlin International Film Festival.[6]
