Довольно интересная идея показать историю с трагической и комической точки зрения.



Woody Allen wrote the screenplay in a month.

Robert Downey Jr. was cast, but dropped from the film, because the actor's insurance premium was too costly to meet.

Demetri Martin auditioned for the role that was vacated by Robert Downey Jr.
and taken over by Will Ferrell.

Radha Mitchell received her role without an audition.
Woody Allen saw her in Ten Tiny Love Stories and liked it so much that he decided to cast her.

Due to the limited budget, Radha Mitchell, an Australian, couldn't have a dialect coach for her role as an American.

Winona Ryder was originally cast as Melinda, but was forced to drop out
because no agency would insure her due to her famous arrest for shoplifting.
Woody Allen stated in the book "Conversations with Woody Allen" that he wanted to cast Ryder,
but he couldn't get a bonding on her.
