Production

In an interview with Bobbie Wygant, writer/director Christopher Crowe explained where he got the inspiration for the story:

"I wanted to explore the business of psychiatry, I thought by its nature it's a very dramatic arena, fraught with tugs and pulls, and all kinds of directions, I wanted to explore that." "The other thing I wanted to do is look at the world through a woman’s eyes, I’d never done that before".

Initially, the film was set to be produced by MCA Television Entertainment and distributed by Universal Pictures. The project would end up at Paramount Pictures with a budget of $30 million. Lou Diamond Phillips and Greta Scacchi were slated to star in the film as Doug McDowell and Ann Hecker but both actors dropped out.

Principal photography began on October 21, 1991. Filming took place in and around Manhattan in New York City. The scenes of Ann (Annabella Sciorra)'s apartment was filmed at 500 5th Avenue in Manhattan. The lake house scenes were filmed in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Due to severe cold weather in Massachusetts at the time, some of the filming of the water front scenes were done in Sebastian, Florida. Production was completed on January 18, 1992.
