Marjorie, after a night of partying, seems to have lost her false teeth the day before her boyfriend is set to be released from prison.

Based upon an encounter that writer Colin Kennedy had near his office building, which also housed a heroin rehabilitation clinic, the film built upon a conversation he overheard between two addicts.

Unlike others who frequented the building, this couple were both happy and endearing, qualities which sparked the idea that became the film.

[4] Kennedy and casting director Kathleen Crawford cast established actress and model Camilla Rutherford in the lead role of Marjory and newly discovered actor Colin Harris, only six months out of drama school, in the role of the lovesick Tommy.

The combination of two actors at different stages of their careers brought a sense of balance to the completed film.
