  • Creator's Favorite Episode: Woody Allen has said that this is one of his few "A-films", and even "arguably may be the best film that I've made. This is strictly accidental, it just happened to come out right. You know, I try to make them all good, but some come out and some don't. With this one everything seemed to come out right. The actors fell in, the photography fell in and the story clicked. I caught a lot of breaks!"
  • Magnum Opus Dissonance: Woody Allen considers this one of his best films. Many of his fans, and some of its reviewers, strongly disagree.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • The script was originally set in The Hamptons, a wealthy enclave in New York, but was transferred to London when Woody Allen found financing for the film there.
    • Kate Winslet was originally cast as Nola Rice, but dropped out to spend time with her family.
