Woody Allen has always strenuously denied that the film is autobiographical. Allen has said in the book "Woody Allen on Woody Allen: In Conversation with Stig Björkman" (1994): "[Critics] thought that the lead character was me. Not a fictional character but me. Not a fictional character but me, and that I was expressing hostility towards my audience. That was in no way the point of the film. It was about a character who is obviously having a sort of nervous breakdown and, in spite of success, has come to a point in his life where he is having a bad time".
Debut of Sharon Stone.
This was the only film directed by Woody Allen between Sleeper (1973) and Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993) in which neither Diane Keaton nor Mia Farrow appear.
Working title for this film was "Woody Allen No. 4". Allen told an interviewer that "I am not even half of the Fellini of 8½ (1963)".
Woody Allen once said of the casting of Charlotte Rampling in this film in the book "Woody Allen on Woody Allen: In Conversation with Stig Björkman" (1994): "She was just right for that part. I mean, she is so beautiful and so sexy and so interesting. She has an interesting neurotic quality".
"Sandy Bates: You can't control life. It doesn't wind up perfectly. Only-only art you can control. Art and masturbation. Two areas in which I am an absolute expert."
"Question Askers-Screening: A lot of people have accused you of being narcissistic. Sandy Bates: No, I know. People think that I'm egotistical and narcissistic, but it's not true. I-I uh I... As a matter of fact, if I did identify with a Greek mythological character, it would not be Narcissus. Question Askers-Screening: Who would it be? Sandy Bates: Zeus."
