Trivia
Diane Keaton replaced Mia Farrow. Woody Allen had written the lead female role for Farrow, but Keaton got the part following the breakup of the pair's personal relationship. There is a rumor that, despite the very public feuding between her and Allen, Farrow showed up for a costume fitting, and needed to be informed that she was no longer in the movie.

Goofs
At their neighbors' house, Carol prepares coffee in the kitchen. She makes filter coffee and puts a can of water under the filter. You have to pour water in the machine to warm it up and then go through the filter. The can will be filled with coffee in the end.

Quotes
Larry Lipton: I can't listen to that much Wagner, ya know? I start to get the urge to conquer Poland.

A light but very fun comedy

Woody Allen and Diane Keaton reunite in this fine film, and both are in top form. Although it largely abandons the angst-filled themes of many of Allen's earlier films, it replaces it with a playfulness and sense of fun which elevates the film above your standard comedy or mystery. Alan Alda is notable for his fine performance, as well.
