The film's script was exclusively written by González so his "Piporro" character could alternate with María Félix. The film's background is the Mexican Revolution, an armed conflict between the government and the peasantry during the early 20th century. Hints of the story's setting in the film suggest that the film took place in the state of Jalisco, since Félix's character remarks her hometown as Tepatitlán,Valentina (María Félix) reveals her hometown when Genovevo (Eulalio González) nicknames her the "Rosa de Xochimilco", and Valentina steps on him reminding him that she is the "Rosa de Tepatitlán".

Rondo Hatton's swan song; he died just weeks after the film was completed. So murky and dark, it makes M look like Mrs. Doubtfire." Michael J. Nelson, the show's head writer who also plays the character of the same name, said the staff initially felt strange making jokes at the expense of Rondo Hatton and his real-life illness; however, Nelson said, "Then you realize it's the whole point of the movie: he's a guy with a big ugly face...And he is a terribly bad actor." Paul Chaplin, another writer with the series, said of the actor's acromegaly: "That fact opens up a large, irresolvable issue concerning the movie industry's use of this poor afflicted fellow; he was paid, after all, and movie work is nice work.

Helena Bertinelli was introduced in her own Huntress series, written by Joey Cavalieri and drawn by Joe Staton, co-creator and long-time artist of the Helena Wayne Huntress. Staton recalled, "I think Paul [Levitz] realized that I felt my involvement with Helena had been abruptly cut short [by the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths], so I was always in line to be a part of any reworking of the character. I don’t recall how Joey Cavalieri came to be the writer on the Helena Bertinelli version, but I think we did some nice work on that run. Helena Bertinelli could never have the deep resonance of Helena Wayne, because she didn’t have the whole Batman/Catwoman backstory at her command, but Joey worked her into a different mythos, that of the mob, also dark, noirish".

" Ryan Reed of Paste dubbed the album "a welcome return, even if it's a tad exhausting", adding that "No Doubt has always been more than a platform for a gifted frontwoman, a fact Push and Shove seems to forget at times, downplaying the band's fluid chemistry in favor of soaring hooks and 'cranked to 11' dynamics." In a mixed review, Helen Brown of The Daily Telegraph felt that "too much of the record sounds like generic, Katy Perry-esque power-pop." The Guardians Caroline Sullivan remarked that "this record simply takes up where 2001's Rock Steady left off", but ultimately stated, "As a comeback, this is nice work." The Independents Andy Gill commented that the album finds No Doubt "making only the most tentative divergences from previously tried and tested strategies, which gives Push and Shove a character that could be described as either dated or timeless.

Many of Lodge's novels are set in Rummidge, "an imaginary city ... which occupies, for the purposes of fiction, the space where Birmingham is to be found on maps of the so-called real world". These include Nice Work, described by Arthur Marwick as "the novel of life in Thatcherite Britain", and the Booker Prize shortlisted Small World: An Academic Romance. Lodge's novels use parody and pastiche, formal experiments such as chapters composed entirely of newspaper clippings, and ironic allusions to other literary genres, to examine moral dilemmas and document changes in British society. Jim Crace Jim Crace moved to Birmingham in 1965 to study at what is now Birmingham City University, where his contemporaries included the novelist and journalist Gordon Burn, whose later writing blurred the lines between fact and fiction to examine the trauma, spectacle and dysfunction of contemporary celebrity, and new gothic psychological novelist Patrick McGrath.
