Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

The 'Orgasmatron' closet was inspired by Allen's own claustrophobia and fear of small spaces, not sexual commentary.

Cultural

Allen banned the film from release in Spain and Italy for years, fearing it would offend leftist audiences who wouldn't get the satire.
