1* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $20 million. Box office, $13,383,747. This was one of Creator/WoodyAllen's most highly {{Acclaimed Flop}}s.
2* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/DianneWiest took the part of Helen Sinclair specifically for this reason, as she wanted to play something besides the nice, emotionally troubled characters she had been known for.
3* RealitySubtext:
4** The running theme of the film is that a true artist has their own moral code. This is probably a rebuke by Creator/WoodyAllen to those who decried his affair and marriage to Soon-Yi Previn.
5** Creator/ChazzPalminteri is a brilliant writer, and is usually typecast as Italian doofuses.
6* SparedByTheCut: Originally, [[spoiler:gangster turned playwright Cheech]] was supposed to live and become a theatrical success without losing his more sinister elements, but he dies in the final version.
7* ThrowItIn: Cheech's last line, "Don't speak!", was ad-libbed.
