Dustin Hoffman planned the moment when he throws his wine glass against the wall during the restaurant scene with Meryl Streep. The only person he warned in advance was the cameraman, to make sure that it got in the shot. Streep's shocked reaction was real, but she stayed in character long enough for writer and director Robert Benton to yell cut. In the documentary on the DVD, she recalls yelling at Hoffman as soon as the shot was over for scaring her so badly.
Meryl Streep wrote her own courtroom speech upon writer and director Robert Benton's suggestion, after she told him she wasn't satisfied with the way it was originally written.
JoBeth Williams's funny nude scene was optically darkened for the film's theatrical run, to avoid an R rating. The un-darkened version frequently appears in some television prints.
Meryl Streep requested changes to her character, as she felt that the story was relying on the audience to understand why Joanna left without letting Joanna express it for herself. It was her belief that the character as written, in both the screenplay and the book, was too one-dimensional, an obvious villain for Ted and Billy to react to and change their lives accordingly.
The famous ice cream scene, where Billy challenges his father by skipping dinner and going straight for dessert, was completely improvised by Dustin Hoffman and Justin Henry. Writer and director Robert Benton liked the scene so much that he decided to keep it in the film.
"Billy Kramer: Daddy? Ted Kramer: Yeah? Billy Kramer: I'm sorry. Ted Kramer: I'm sorry too. I want you to go to sleep because it's really late. Billy Kramer: Daddy? Ted Kramer: Now what is it? Billy Kramer: Are you going away? Ted Kramer: No. I'm staying here with you. You can't get rid of me that easy. Billy Kramer: That's why Mommy left, isn't it? Because I was bad? Ted Kramer: Is that what you think? No. That's not it, Billy. Your mom loves you very much... and the reason she left has nothing to do with you. I don't know if this will make sense, but I'll try to explain it to you. I think the reason why Mommy left... was because for a long time... I kept trying to make her be a certain kind of person. A certain kind of wife that I thought she was supposed to be. And she just wasn't like that. She was... She just wasn't like that. I think that she tried for so long to make me happy... and when she couldn't, she tried to talk to me about it. But I wasn't listening. I was too busy, too wrapped up... just thinking about myself. And I thought that anytime I was happy, she was happy. But I think underneath she was very sad. Mommy stayed here longer than she wanted because she loves you so much. And the reason why Mommy couldn't stay anymore... was because she couldn't stand me. She didn't leave because of you. She left because of me. Go to sleep now because it's really late, okay? Good night. Sleep tight. Billy Kramer: Don't let the bedbugs bite. Ted Kramer: See you in the morning light. Billy Kramer: Daddy? Ted Kramer: Yeah? Billy Kramer: I love you. Ted Kramer: I love you too."
"Ted Kramer: [while Billy brings ice cream to the table] You go right back and put that right back until you finish your dinner... I'm warning you, you take one bite out of that and you are in big trouble. Don't... Hey! Don't you dare... Don't you DARE do that. You hear me? Hold it right there! You put that ice cream in your mouth and you are in very, very, VERY big trouble. Don't you dare go anywhere beyond that... Put it down right now. I am not going to say it again. I am NOT going to say it AGAIN. [Billy eats ice cream] Billy Kramer: [Ted picks him up] Ow! You're hurting me! Ted Kramer: OW! Don't you kick me! Billy Kramer: I hate you! Ted Kramer: You're no bargain either, pal! You are a spoiled, rotten little brat and I'll tell you right now... Billy Kramer: I hate you! Ted Kramer: And I hate you back, you little shit! Billy Kramer: I want my mommy! Ted Kramer: I'm all you got."
