* DeletedRole: One-third of the film had Cliff shooting a documentary on old vaudevillians, with Mia Farrow as the head of the institute to which they belonged. Creator/WoodyAllen didn't like the scenes in the final cut. During postproduction he cut an entire third of the film, then rewrote and re-shot that section from scratch. As a result, Creator/SeanYoung's scenes were cut out, and Creator/DarylHannah's role was reduced to a brief cameo.

* WriteWhoYouKnow: Lester is based on Larry Gelbart, whom both Creator/WoodyAllen and Creator/AlanAlda worked with and reportedly disliked because of his despotic ways. Lester's various comments such as "Comedy is tragedy plus time" and "If it bends, it's funny; if it breaks, it isn't" were actual Gelbart quotes. In spite of this reputed dislike for Gelbart, Allen called him "the best comedy writer that I ever knew and one of the best guys" in a statement shortly following Gelbart's death, whilst Alda said in the Los Angeles Times obituary, "Larry's genius for writing changed my life because I got to speak his lines - lines that were so good they'll be with us for a long, long time; but his other genius - his immense talent for being good company - is a light that's gone out and we're all sitting here in the dark".
