Kevin Kline met future wife Phoebe Cates when she auditioned for the part of Chloe, which eventually went to Meg Tilly.
Actor Tom Berenger described this film as being " . . . about that period in life when you're beginning to realize you have limitations, that you will never accomplish certain goals and dreams . . . Suddenly, you know you're not a kid anymore".
Flashback scenes with Kevin Costner as Alex Marshall were filmed but then cut out of the movie. Costner is still visible as the body being dressed at the beginning of the film.
Fans have long clamored to see Kevin Costner's footage for several sequences showing Alex Marshall's life prior to his suicide, but in documentaries and interviews since, Lawrence Kasdan has never shown anything more than still photographs from the location shoot. Kasdan has also refused to do any sort of "director's cut" saying that the version of the film as it has stood since 1983 is his director's cut and will not be augmented.
Before actual shooting was to begin, Lawrence Kasdan wanted the cast to spend some significant time rehearsing together. As they travelled from California to Atlanta, Georgia and ultimately Beaufort, South Carolina, the actors had nearly three weeks of rehearsal time before the cameras rolled--something extremely rare for a film. JoBeth Williams believed it was partly due to the studio not wanting to spend a lot of money on the actual shooting process. More importantly, however, Kasdan wanted to give the cast and crew a chance to work out how they would play their scenes together and get to know each other well enough to achieve the effortless camaraderie that comes with the close long-time friendships depicted in the story. It was a strategy that all of the actors found extremely helpful in making their characters' relationships believable. "It's like playing on a wonderful team," said Kevin Kline at the time, "and it's fun being part of that team. It's a sharing, like sharing a victory when you've won. There's a beautiful exhilaration in team play, which is about as apt a parallel as I can make to this ensemble."
"Sam Weber: [Sam enters a room where Nick is up late watching TV] What's this? Nick: I'm not sure. Sam Weber: What's it about? Nick: I don't know. Sam Weber: [Sam shakes his head, pats Nick on the shoulder, then sits in a nearby chair] Who's that? Nick: I think the guy in the hat did something terrible. [shot of TV shows a man being thrown through the glass window of a door; all the people on the TV screen are wearing hats] Sam Weber: Like what? Nick: You're so analytical! Sometimes you just have to let art... flow... over you. [Sam rolls his eyes]"
"Sam Weber: So how's your life? Karen: Oh, great. How's yours? Sam Weber: Not so great. Karen: Ohhh, we're telling the truth."
