Kevin Kline had a professor to coach him with the French to speak it as a Frenchman. He studied French during his Jr. High/High school years and a year in college. He didn't learn to speak it until he went to Alliance Française in New York.
As the closing credits roll, Kate (Meg Ryan) asks Luc (Kevin Kline) to sing "that Bobby Darin song" and then begins to actually sing it . . . "Somewhere..." and Luc corrects her to state that it is a French song and begins to sing it in French, "La Mer". That song was originally written by Charles Trenet and then translated into English and recorded by Bobby Darin.
When Kate (Meg Ryan) and Luc (Kevin Kline) are first talking in their room at Cannes, the French song "Verlaine" is playing. The track's lyrics include the wording "les sanglots longues des violons de l'automne blessent mon coeur d'un langueur monotone" which translate into English as "the long sobs of the violins of autumn wound my heart with a monotonous languor". These words are from a poem called "Verlaine", and had been used in 1944 to form the code phrases that alerted the Resistance to the Allied invasion of France, and were depicted in the earlier epic World War II movie The Longest Day (1962).
Star Kevin Kline's part was originally earmarked for French actor Gérard Depardieu.
First theatrical feature film as a producer of actress Meg Ryan.
"Kate: Happy, smile. Sad, frown. Use the corresponding face with the corresponding emotion. But no. You want this mysterious... Luc: Non. No no no. It is not me who wants it. I don't want it. Kate: Well what do you want? Luc: I want you... I want you... Kate: You want me... Luc: I want you... to... make Charlie suffer. To make him feel like even though you are right there in front of him, he can't have you. [he realizes then that he is talking about himself]"
"Luc: And I am thinking... you should not be flying anywhere. Kate: I shouldn't? Luc: In fact, I am sure of it. Kate: You are? Luc: I am thinking... I want you... Kate: You want me...? Luc: That's all. I want you."
