Context Trivia / Unfaithful

Go To

1* {{Blooper}}: The straps on Connie's nightgown as she and Edward start to make love are inconsistent.
2* DawsonCasting: While a specific age is not given, we are led to believe that Olivier Martinez' character is much younger than Diane Lane (37 at the time of filming). Her husband is shocked at how young he is when he encounters him, and later blasts his cheating wife—"you threw our life away for some fucking ''kid''!". However, Martinez is only a year younger than Lane.
3* DeletedScene: Plenty, most of which just expand scenes already in the film--[[https://youtu.be/Z9Ub7cyTlHA?si=FJ5Z4wy1pV5pzg8M Connie putting Charlie to bed, Connie and Paul meet on a train, Connie getting a phone call from Paul (this can actually be seen in the film during the FallingInLoveMontage, just without dialogue), Edward's camera catching Connie in a revealing moment, Edward's escape from Paul's apartment, Edward preparing to dispose of Paul's body, Connie and Edward going through their dinner party in a daze, the police calling Connie, and a very tense BaitAndSwitch as they leave a party only to find a cop standing by their car, only to have it turn out he was just giving them a ticket]].
4** Also an alternate ending that has Edward getting out of the car and walking into the police station.
5* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
6** Creator/GeorgeClooney, Creator/JohnnyDepp, Creator/RobertRedford, Creator/JohnTravolta and Creator/BruceWillis were offered the role of Edward.
7** Creator/BradPitt and Creator/RyanPhillippe were offered the role of Paul. However during pre-production, the producers decided that Paul be French rather than American, so Olivier Martinez received the part.
8** Creator/MegRyan, Creator/AlyssaMilano (was forced to turn the role down due to her commitment to ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}''), Creator/JodieFoster (she chose to star in ''Film/PanicRoom''), Creator/PortiaDeRossi, Creator/KyraSedgwick, Creator/BrookeShields, Creator/HilarySwank, Creator/KateWinslet, Creator/AngelinaJolie, Creator/JenniferJasonLeigh, and Music/JenniferLopez were considered for the role of Connie.
9** Edward and Connie's marriage was originally going to be unhappy, but director Adrian Lyne felt her adultery would be too easily explained if that were the case.
