At one point in the film, Jason Carmichael [Dudley Moore] says to Phoebe Craddock [Mary Steenburgen] that he wouldn't work with her even if she was a combination of Molly Eyre and Mary Tyler Moore. Previously, Dudley Moore had just recently worked with Mary Tyler Moore on the movie 'Six Weeks' (1982) which first released the year before 'Romantic Comedy' (1983).
