From the beginning of writing, the director Audrey Wells has identified Diane Lane as the only candidate to play Frances . "Diane is fashionable and lively. Her eyes are shining with the light of wisdom, coupled with the chiseled beauty, her charm is hard to resist." Wells commented.
When looking for a candidate to play Catherine, a close friend of Frances' boudoir, the casting director recommended the British actor Lindsay Vere Duncan . Wells recalled: "I need an actress who is still glamorous over half a century. Lindsay Vere Duncan's performance in New York has won praise from critics. So we want to know if she is willing to star in a movie."
The Italian film star Raoul Bova, who played Marcelo in the film, understood the character's life philosophy very well. During the filming of this film, he reached the perfect state of performance, which is to let himself disappear in the role.
