TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Steve Martin and Victoria Tennant were married at the time.

Sarah Jessica Parker has stated that this movie changed her career. Up until this point, she had always played mousy girls or the best friend. She said that no one in Hollywood had thought of her as "sexy". Once she was cast in this role, several new doors opened for her.

There are numerous references to William Shakespeare: the gravedigger scene is from "Hamlet", Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) quotes Shakespeare twice, and the storyline contains elements from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (with the two confused couples exchanging lovers) and "The Tempest" (with a magic storm stranding the lovers, the gods (in the form of stone lions) blessing the couple, and a character named Ariel). The electronic sign also quotes Shakespeare with "There are more things n Heaven and Earth..."

The name of the hotel in Santa Barbara is "El Pollo del Mar", which translates as "Chicken of the Sea" (a nickname and brand name for albacore tuna).

The freeway sign was programmed to deliver its messages in multiple languages so it wouldn't have to be subtitled in foreign-language releases.

Popular Dialogues

"Harris: Why is it that we don't always recognize the moment when love begins but we always know when it ends?"

"[Admiring a painting] Harris: I like the relationships. I mean, each character has his own story. The puppy is a bit too much, but you have to over look things like that in these kinds of paintings. The way he's *holding* her... it's almost... filthy. I mean, he's about to kiss her and she's pulling away. The way the leg's sort of smashed up against her... Phew... Look how he's painted the blouse sort of translucent. You can just make out her breasts underneath and it's sort of touching him about here. It's really... pretty torrid, don't you think? Then of course you have the onlookers peeking at them from behind the doorway like they're all shocked. They wish. Yeah, I must admit, when I see a painting like this, I get emotionally... erect. [the painting is revealed to be of a red rectangle]"
