Budget 20,000,000 USD
Box Office Collection 15,400,000 USD
Actress Meryl Streep was considered for the "She-Devil" character. But due to some conceptual similarity with Streep's then previous picture A Cry in the Dark (1988), Streep decided to portray romance novelist Mary Fisher instead.
Before doing this movie, actress Meryl Streep was criticized and questioned as to whether she could do comedy.
The movie was filmed in New York in the spring and summer 1989, which was during the first season break of Roseanne Barr's popular ABC television sitcom Roseanne (1988)
Director Susan Seidelman reportedly didn't realise that a highly-regarded BBC adaptation had already been made of Fay Weldon's novel until she was well into production.
The film is dedicated to Dean E. Maitland. The film's dedication at the end of the closing credits states "In loving memory of Dean Maitland 1970-1989". Maitland worked as a sound recordist on the movie.
"Mary Fisher: You're still the butler--so get to work! Garcia: I may be the butler, but I'm NOT the maid!"
"[hearing the doorbell ring] Mary Fisher: [sweetly] Would somebody please get the door? [doorbell continues ringing] Mary Fisher: [angrily] Would somebody please get the goddamn door?"
