Quite ballsy of Nora Ephron to make public the details of her betrayal by husband Carl Bernstein (multiple times), firstly in novel, then in this. I wonder if she liked being played by Meryl Streep? Yes. ("I highly recommend having Meryl Streep play you" is a wonderful speech.) Time Out called it 'a movie of colossal inconsequence'.
Jack Nicholson is the cheating shit. One of the great actors' directors, Nichols (originally from theatre) likes to keep his cast in long takes. Jeff Daniels, Maureen Stapleton, Stockard Channing, Richard Masur, Catherine O'Hara, Steven Hill, Milos Forman, Mamie Gummer, Kevin Spacey.
