There are several references to the mythical Greek king Oedipus and the Oedipus complex in Sam Sylvia's films. In the myth, Oedipus killed his father and married his mother whilst unaware of their true identity. When Sylvia finds out that the plot for his screenplay Mothers & Lovers is similar to the newly released Back to the Future (mother attempts to seduce time travelling son whilst unaware of his true identity), he becomes upset and is next seen lying on the floor of a hotel room. Sylvia is visited by Justine who attempts to comfort him. He attempts to come on to her but she announces that she is his daughter. This mirrors the story of Oedipus, Mothers & Lovers, and Back to the Future.
