Robert Downey Jr. was originally scheduled to appear in the film, but because of his high premiums, the producers finally had to give up.
Radha Mitchell got the role of Melinda without auditioning because Woody Allen liked her performance in the movie Ten Little Love Stories.
During the filming of the film, only Radha Mitchell of all the actors owned the script for the entire play.
Due to filming budget constraints, the producers did not hire an accent coach for Australian actor Radha Mitchell.
Winona Ryder was originally cast to play Melinda, but she was arrested for shoplifting and no company was willing to provide her insurance, so the producers had to find another candidate.
Director Woody Allen gave the actors enough room to play. He told the actors not to stick to the lines of the script, and they could play freely if they thought it was inappropriate.
Before the official shooting, Woody Allen did not organize rehearsals, he believed that unnecessary rehearsals would consume the enthusiasm of the actors.
In the opening scene, although it is a rainy night, not a single car on the street is using the wipers .

Perhaps this emphasizes the importance of the storyteller and reminds us that history is all personal... Of course Half & Half's woody way of telling is a must...

Sadness is the form, happiness is the content. The difference is that happy people often inject happiness into sadness, and unfortunate people often inject sadness into happiness. Woody's tragicomedy apparently draws inspiration from Milan Kundera's speculations about light and heavy, and teases those who put the cart before the horse. Overall pessimistic, he believes that what kind of person we become depends on our cognitive horizons, so "Twin Melinda", which can make wishes come true, eventually became a magic mirror rather than a magic lamp. This slightly didactic work asks the audience the question: in a chaotic and pessimistic life, be a pessimistic optimist or an optimistic pessimist.
