Trivia
Funny accident
The scene where Joe accidentally closes the door of Kathleen's shop on the balloons was unscripted. Tom Hanks actually did that, and ad libbed the line, "Good thing it wasn't the fish." Nora Ephron thought it was so funny that she kept it in.
Crew reunion.
Director Nora Ephron reunites Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks 5 years after the success of the movie 'Something to Remember'.
Remake
A remake of the 1940 film El bazar de las sorpresas (1940) starring James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan. The original film involved two employees at a leather goods store. (In the source play it was a perfumerie). They could not stand each other at work, but were unknowingly falling in love through the mail as anonymous pen pals.
