1	* AllStarCast: Just look at the film poster.
2	* CastTheRunnerUp:
3	** Creator/WoodyAllen gave Creator/MiaFarrow the choice of playing Hannah, Lee or Holly. She chose Hannah, the character based on herself.
4	** Allen considered playing either Elliot or Frederick before deciding to play Mickey Sachs.
5	* ColbertBump: If you're not Canadian, this film introduced you to "Slip Into the Crowd" by ''The 39 Steps''.
6	* CreatorBacklash: Allen considered the happy ending a failure and unrealistic.
7	* ExecutiveMeddling: The original film as shot had a dark DownerEnding. The studio forced Allen to reshoot the film, and thankfully, the new version proved to be a smashing success.
8	* InspirationForTheWork: The film was originally about a man who fell in love with his wife's sister. Then Creator/WoodyAllen re-read ''Literature/AnnaKarenina'' "and I thought, it's interesting how this guy gets the various stories going, cutting from one story to another. I loved the idea of experimenting with that."
9	* MissingTrailerScene: A quick clip of April and David chatting at an art museum in the trailer is missing in the film itself.
10	* RealLifeRelative:
11	** Maureen O'Sullivan and Creator/MiaFarrow play mother and daughter, which they are in RealLife.
12	** Four of Mia Farrow's real children appear in the film as Hannah's kids.
13	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
14	** Creator/DustinHoffman was considered for Mickey Sachs.
15	** Creator/KimBasinger accepted the role of Hannah, but dropped out to star in ''Film/NineAndAHalfWeeks''. Creator/JenniferJasonLeigh was considered, but Creator/WoodyAllen wanted a more experienced actress. Creator/JessicaLange and Creator/AnniePotts were also considered.
16	** According to a 2014 podcast, Allen revealed that Creator/JackNicholson was the first choice for the role of Elliot. He was interested in the role, but it conflicted with filming ''Film/PrizzisHonor''.
17	** Creator/BrookeShields was considered for the role of April. She turned it down because she was attending Princeton.
18	* WriteWhoYouKnow: Creator/WoodyAllen admits that the role of Hannah was based on Mia Farrow being "a romanticized perception of Mia. She's very stable, she has eight children now, and she's able to run her career, and have good relationships with her sister and her mother. I'm very impressed with those qualities, and I thought if she had two unstable sisters, it would be interesting."
