Production

Rudolph had just made Welcome to L.A. with the assistance of Robert Altman. According to Rudolph:

Bob was working with Fox and he said, "I think I can get a little film made. You got anything?" And I said let me think about it. On my way home, I drove by the Metro theater and they were showing Rita Hayworth, Ida Lupino movies. Ooh! I got an idea about some kind of loose metaphor for the woman's movement at the time. disguised as one of those B-melodramas. I wrote it in two weeks, thinking this is a giant leap for me.

Rudolph wrote the script in several weeks, creating the lead character specifically for Geraldine Chaplin, who had been in Welcome to L.A. Rudolph described the film as "an update of the classic woman's melodramas of the Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Crawford era."

Anthony Perkins was cast on the suggestion of Rudolph's wife, who had seen him on stage in Equus. Rudolph later said, "Geraldine Chaplin is a genius. The most original performer, she climbed inside Emily and opened up something singular and beautiful. Tony Perkins was equally wonderful and complex, like Geraldine, he knew where humour was hiding." Perkins suggested his real life wife Betty Berenson to play his on screenwife.

Rudolph recalled that Fox backed out two weeks before filming. "We decide that it's two weeks before we have to pay anyone a paycheck. You get two weeks when you first start. So we said we'll shoot for two weeks and if we don't get any money, we'll just shut down." He said the head of Columbia Pictures was desperately looking for films after the firing of David Begelman and during the second week of shooting they agreed to underwrite the film.
