Curiozități

Irreconcilable Differences is a 1984 American comedy-drama film starring Ryan O'Neal, Shelley Long, and Drew Barrymore. It is loosely inspired on the marriage and divorce of filmmakers Peter Bogdanovich and Polly Platt.

Production

Irreconcilable Differences was inspired by the divorce between director Peter Bogdanovich and his first wife, producer Polly Platt, after he left her for actress Cybill Shepherd (whose proxy in the film is played by Sharon Stone). Sam Wanamaker plays a producer based on Roger Corman.

Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers had written and produced Private Benjamin. The success of that movie enabled Shyer to direct this one. They started working on it after Benjamin originally for Orion Pictures. They claimed much of the material was based on their own romantic relationship - when they made it they had been together for a number of years and shared a child.

Raising finance was difficult. It took producers Arlene Sellers and Alex Winitsky nine months to raise $6 million.

"I love the movie," said Ryan O'Neal. "So I did it for no salary, just points. It was made for under $6 million, so they didn't have the money to pay us. Still, I think it's some of my best work. Maybe I should work like that more often."
