Quotes from
Michael James:
In Britain, we have a national therapy, we call it cricket. Unlike other sports, it doesn't involve anxieties or pressures. It's leisurely and lyrical. It's the song of willow on leather.
Dr. Fritz Fassbender: Is there any sex in it?
Michael James: Oh, no. This is a game for gentlemen, played by gentlemen.
Dr. Fritz Fassbender: It's sick, sick.
Dr. Fritz Fassbender: I'll see you next Friday - I've got a few phone calls to make.
Michael James: But I haven't finished - I've only been here fifteen minutes.
Dr. Fritz Fassbender: I can't take more than fifteen minutes of your sex life at one time.
Anna Fassbender: [delivers a Wagnerian Valkyrie yodel]
Rita: Who is that thing?
Dr. Fritz Fassbender: That is no thing, it's my wife!

Facts about
Richard Burton appears in a cameo with Peter O'Toole in a scene in a bar where Burton asks O'Toole "Don't you know me from someplace?" and O'Toole responds "Give my regards to what's her name." The dialogue is a reference to their appearance together in Becket and to Burton's wife at the time, Elizabeth Taylor. Screenwriter Woody Allen later said of the Burton cameo, "It was so cute, you want to vomit."
While rehearsing his lines about people cheating on each other in the hotel, French actor Jacques Balutin suddenly saw Peter O'Toole unexpectedly roar with laughter. Asking Peter Sellers to join them, O'Toole insisted that he did it one more time. Obliging to his request, his performance produced the same hysterical effect. Only when both actors stopped laughing out loud did they admit to Balutin his bad pronunciation of "cheat on" made it sound more like "sh*t on".
The movie began as a semi-autobiographical project for Warren Beatty with Woody Allen writing the screenplay. Eventually Beatty's role became smaller than originally intended and producer Charles Feldman ignored his request to cast his then-girlfriend Leslie Caron instead of Capucine. Beatty then left the project and his role was taken by Peter O'Toole.
