  • When Erica kisses Harry in the scenes outside the restaurant in New York City, it was an improvisation by Diane Keaton. Writer and director Nancy Meyers liked it so much that she decided to use it in the final cut of the movie.
  • Nancy Meyers wrote the roles of Erica and Harry specifically for Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson.
  • Jack Nicholson turned down starring in Bad Santa (2003) to star in this film.
  • The DVD includes a deleted scene in which Harry sings “La Vie En Rose” for Erica at a karaoke bar. Part of this scene (Harry and Erica dancing) was in one of the trailers. Jack Nicholson sings the same song during the end credits.
  • First (albeit brief) full frontal nudity scene for Diane Keaton. Although highly publicized as her first actual nude scene, in fact, she first appeared topless (semi-nude, not fully nude) in Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977).
  • The interior of Harry’s house is the same townhouse used as Miranda Priestly’s house in The Devil Wears Prada (2006).
