What's left behind the scenes
- Fyodor Shalyapin Jr., the son of opera singer Fyodor Shalyapin Sr., appears in a supporting role as the 'old man' in the film.
- Olympia Dukakis is only 15 years older than her on-screen daughter Cher.
- Initially, Nicolas Cage did not impress the studio executives at the audition, and they demanded that another actor be cast in the role of Ronnie. Cher insisted that Cage be cast. She even threatened to leave the project if they didn't, and the studio backed down.
- The actors' union fined director Norman Jewison for not letting the cast go to lunch until they had rehearsed the kitchen scene. Norman later claimed that the kitchen scene was the most difficult he had ever filmed. Jewison released the crew and rehearsed the scene with the actors as if they were going to perform it on stage. Only after the scene was perfected to his satisfaction did the director give the go-ahead for filming.
- Anne Bancroft (1931-2005) or Maureen Stapleton (1925-2006) were considered for the role of the heroine's mother, but that would have been too expensive for the film's budget. That's when Olympia Dukakis (1931-2021) was remembered, and she ultimately played the part.
- Fyodor Shalyapin Jr., the son of opera singer Fyodor Shalyapin Sr., appears in a minor role as the “old man” in the film.
