.. with Barbara Benedek. For William Hurt, an actor we've always admired, who died on March 13, our favourite character and actor in this. He won the Oscar for Kiss of the Spider Woman and was nominated for Broadcast News, Children of a Lesser God and A History of Violence. We also love him in Smoke and Second Best. Kasdan and he worked on three other films together, Body Heat, I Love You To Death and The Accidental Tourist.
Rest of cast: Glenn Close, Kevin Kline, Tom Berenger, Mary Kay Place, Meg Tilly, Jeff Goldblum, Jobeth Williams. Several Kasdans are in bit parts. It's edited by Carol Littleton and photographed by her husband John Bailey. Carol recalls that the Columbia studio execs didn't find it all funny, didn't realise it was a comedy (an adult comedy) until preview audiences started enthusiastically reacting. (Actually - is it a comedy? I would have said it's a relationship piece with funny bits.) Michael Grillo is first AD.
