Short description
A transit worker pulls commuter Peter off railway tracks after he's mugged, but—while he's in a coma—his family mistakenly thinks she's Peter's fiancée, and she doesn't correct them. Things get more complicated when she falls for his brother, who's not quite sure that she's who she claims to be.
What's left behind the scenes
- The original script was about a woman in a coma and a man pretending to be her fiancé. Many studio executives found it too harsh, but someone suggested swapping the roles. As soon as the script was rewritten, Hollywood Pictures picked up the film.
- The role of Lucy was written for Demi Moore. Sandra Bullock took the role, saying she could get into it because she had just ended a four-year relationship.
- Julia Roberts turned down the role of Lucy Moderatz.
- James Spader and Dylan McDermott were considered for the role of Jack Callaghan.
- The Callaghan house is located in the village of La Grange, a suburb of Chicago.
