The film differs from the play mainly with the insertion of a single scene written by Mamet. The scene involves a character named Blake, played by Alec Baldwin, who gives the main characters a more immediate motivation for selling real estate.
The film also differs in location. While references to the Chicago area remain intact throughout, the credits list it having been filmed "on location" in New York City. As such, there are some scenes which do refer to New York City, such as the opening scene, in which the pay phone Shelly Levene uses clearly reads "New York". Also, George Aaronow comments to Shelly, "I had a woman in White Plains on the hook ...," an obvious reference to White Plains, New York.
