While directing the love scene between Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, director Sam Mendes, Winslet's then-husband, opted to watch the monitor from another room. Mendes admitted that directing his own wife in a sex scene was awkward, but added that directing sex scenes are always awkward. Winslet found this very uncomfortable. "Leo's my best friend, Sam's my husband, this is a bit weird!" However, DiCaprio found it very easy, as "we've done this a thousand times before", while filming Titanic (1997).
Whilst shooting the scene where Frank and April Wheeler first meet and dance together, the director was blasting a ballad to set the scene. After take 13, someone changed the music to Céline Dion's song "My Heart Will Go On", the anthem from Titanic (1997). Initially, everyone paused, before Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet wordlessly spread out their arms and recreated the iconic pose of their Titanic characters. This resulted in applause and laughter from the 300 extras, energising the mood.
It's never named in the film, but in Richard Yates' source novel, the play April acts in is Robert E. Sherwood's "The Petrified Forrest", written in 1935. In the play, the female lead, Gabby, dreams of leaving what she sees as a humdrum existence in the United States to move to France; this is also April Wheeler's dream.
Kate Winslet articulated that her relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio was so strong that she could instinctively tell when he wasn't happy with his performance in a take. They have both stated that their long-lasting friendship allowed their performances to be elevated, as they weren't afraid to ask more of the other.
The film was shot almost entirely in sequence.
"April Wheeler: So now I'm crazy because I don't love you, right? Is that the point? Frank Wheeler: No! Wrong! You're not crazy, and you do love me. That's the point, April. April Wheeler: But I don't. I hate you. You were just some boy who made me laugh at a party once, and now I loathe the sight of you. In fact, if you come any closer, if you touch me or anything, I think I'll scream. Frank Wheeler: Oh, come on, stop this April. [He touches her for an instant and she screams at the top of her lungs before walking away. He chases after her] Frank Wheeler: Fuck you, April! Fuck you and all your hateful, goddamn... [He breaks a chair against a wall] April Wheeler: What are you going to do now? Are you going to hit me? To show me how much you love me? Frank Wheeler: Don't worry, I can't be bothered! You're not worth the trouble it would take to hit you! You're not worth the powder it would take to blow you up. You are an empty, empty, hollow shell of a woman. I mean, what the hell are you doing in my house if you hate me so much? Why the hell are you married to me? What the hell are you doing carrying my child? I mean, why didn't you just get rid of it when you had the chance? Because listen to me, listen to me, I got news for you - I wish to God that you had!"
"April Wheeler: If being crazy means - living life as if it matters, then I don't care if we're completely insane. Do you?"
