In his 1989 autobiography "It Would Be So Nice If You Weren't Here...", Charles Grodin mentions that Robert De Niro had prepared for his role by going on actual drug busts with teams of detectives, had befriended a Los Angeles homicide detective who kept him regularly informed on the daily L.A. murder rate and had traveled to Chicago (his character's hometown) to work with the police there. Meanwhile Grodin's research was limited to a ten-minute phone call to his business manager, Ralph Goldman, to ask how the transfer of millions of embezzled dollars would technically be done.
