Loosely based on the marriage and divorce of director Peter Bogdanovich and producer Polly Platt.
Sharon Stone's character is modeled upon Cybill Shepherd, a former lover of Peter Bogdanovich.
The expensive flop musical that the Ryan O'Neal's character makes as a vehicle for Sharon Stone's character is a thinly veiled reference to At Long Last Love (1975), the expensive flop musical that Peter Bogdanovich made as a vehicle for Cybill Shepherd.
Young Drew Barrymore almost quit acting after starring in this movie. According to what she wrote in her book, Little Girl Lost, there was a lot of fighting going on between crew members. Apparently it took them up to 30-40 takes for some small scenes, because no one was ever fully content. One Day Drew even broke down crying and she ran to her trailer because it exhausted her to keep putting up with it all. When they finished she doubted her career choice because for her, acting was about fun and being part of a crew. Rumor has it Shelley Long's perfectionistic acting method acting was intrusive again.
While the movie draws upon the Peter Bogdanovich / Cybill Shepherd / Polly Platt love triangle for its inspiration, as many critics including Roger Ebert have noted, it also draws upon Nora Ephron's "Heartburn" for much of its inspiration, as Platt never wrote a bestselling novel about her husband's affair, but Ephron did.
"Casey Brodsky: Mother, you and dad for a long time did not recognize my rights as a human being. You both treated me like chattel. You cannot do with me as you please anymore. We have irreconcilable differences."
"Albert Brodsky: [reading from Casey's Book "Tomorrow"] "Erica James celebrated her 13th birthday by screwing the entire junior varsity basketball team!" What is this? Casey Brodsky: A book! May I have it back please?"
