Short description
While dining out with friends, Sy suggests the difficulty of separating comedy from tragedy. To illustrate his point, he tells his guests two parallel stories about Melinda ; both versions have the same basic elements, but one take on her state of affairs leans toward levity, while the other is full of anguish. Each story involves Melinda coping with a recent divorce through substance abuse while beginning a romantic relationship with a close friend's husband.
What's left behind the scenes
- Of the entire cast, only Rada Mitchell received the full script. All other actors only had excerpts from the script relating to their characters.
- Winona Ryder was initially cast in the role of Melinda, but had to withdraw from the project. The filmmakers were unable to find an agency that would insure the actress, who was unfortunately famous for shoplifting in Beverly Hills.
