TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Mike Nichols and Garry Shandling did not get along well during the filming of this movie. Mike Nichols would get very frustrated with Garry Shandling's method acting.

Mike Nichols regretted directing this film, which many regard as his worst. It was a box-office failure and was never given a commercial cinema release in the UK.

If you look closely, the opening "Columbia" lady's face is very different and holds a very strong resemblance to Annette Bening.

The 800 number on Susan's realty sign posted in this movie is an actual working number for Coldwell Banker.

Mike Nichols was paid a reputed $8,000,000 to direct this film, which was a critical and box-office disaster.

Popular Dialogues

"Graydon: You appear intelligent, but when you open your mouth the effect is spoiled."

"Susan Anderson: My mission is to get to know myself so that I can actually end up focusing less on myself, and more on others."
