Storyline

- TriviaRichard Gere and Julia Roberts had obvious chemistry upon their first meeting; however, Gere was not planning on taking the role. He was on the phone ready to turn down the part when Roberts slid him a Post-it note with the words "please say yes" written on it. He accepted the role right then.
- GoofsWhen Vivian finds Edward sleeping, she wears a long white nightgown when she comes in the room. She kisses him and they begin to make love. When Edward pulls her nightgown over her head, it is now a camisole. Actually the mid-length nightgown has spaghetti straps and she removes it herself, with him on top of her, making it hard to see what she removes but it looked like the same garment.
