The letters and the newspaper read by Cruise, Tom are written in Italian for the Italian version of this movie. Apparently, Kubrick, Stanley shot those scenes with papers written in different languages, as he did for The Shining.

Jennifer Jason Leigh (Cabaret) was the original actress for the character of Marion. After being unable to return to the set for reshoots, she was replaced by Marie Richardson.

Director Kubrick, Stanley died just four days after presenting Warner Bros. with what was reported to be a final cut of the film, after a legendary long shoot.

In order for the film to be given an R rating in America, some scenes contain computer-generated people in the foreground obscuring some of the more explicit sexual action.

The tremendous hype around the release of this film resulted in several rumors about the plot. The most widely circulated was the mistaken rumor that in the film, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman played married psychiatrists having affairs with their patients.

It was also rumoured that Alan and Tom Cruise shared a kiss on screen.
