What's left behind the scenes

  • The first film after the tragedy of September 11, 2001, for which the New York City authorities gave permission to film.
  • Jake's plane lands on Lake Peachtree near Peachtree City, Georgia. This is prohibited by law, and the filmmakers were fined $300.
  • The first film shot in a Tiffany & Co. jewelry store since the filming of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (Blake Edwards, 1961).
  • Charlize Theron was initially cast as Melanie, but she left the film for Louis Mandoki's "24 Hour Party People" (2002) due to the actors' strike.
  • The cemetery shown in the film was filmed in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. This is the hometown of Helen Adams Keller (1880-1968), a writer and political activist whose image was popularized in mass culture by William Gibson in the play "The Miracle Worker" (1959) and in the film of the same name by Arthur Penn (1962).
  • The film's tagline is "Sweet Home Alabama," however Melanie's house was filmed in Georgia. Scenes in the city's business district were filmed in Crawfordville, the least populated county in Georgia.
  • The film mentions the nicknames of two dogs – Bear and Bryant. This way, the filmmakers honored the memory of Paul “Bear” Bryant (1913-1983), the football coach of the University of Alabama.
  • No animals were harmed during the filming. Activists from animal rights organizations specifically monitored this.
