While preparing for the role, Gene Wilder (born Jerome Silberman, 1933-2016) visited a special association for people with hearing impairments in New York. There he met speech therapist Karen Webb, who later became his 4th wife.
Gene Wilder refused to star in the film twice, but his agent eventually persuaded him to meet with the bosses of TriStar Pictures, who asked him to rewrite the script with his participation and that of Richard Pryor (1940-2005). Gene Wilder feared the film would be a mockery of people with disabilities, but he met with them during the preparation for the role and learned that people with disabilities also have a sense of humor. In addition, he began receiving letters from people with disabilities saying how great it would be to make a film where people with disabilities are the main characters, not secondary ones.
While preparing for the role, Richard Pryor visited the Braille Institute in Los Angeles, where he was shown how to realistically play a blind person with a cane, and also observed blind people closely.
