• This is the only film directed by Woody Allen to feature both Mia Farrow and Diane Keaton, who had previously worked with the director separately.
• The scene where young Joe sees a German submarine off the beach is not entirely fictional. During World War II, German submarines were occasionally dispatched to New York with various missions.
• Many of the situations in the film are rooted in the childhood of director Woody Allen.
• The story of Polly Phelps, the girl who fell down a well, is based on a real event. In April 1949, three-year-old Katie Phipps actually fell into a well shaft in San Marino, California. Attempts to rescue the girl were broadcast live on radio and television. Eventually, rescuers were able to descend to a depth of 45 meters, where they discovered that the girl had died shortly after the fall from lack of oxygen. As in the case of Polly Phelps’ death in the film, the death of Katie Phipps was announced on the radio from the scene.
