Trivia from Bullets Over Broadway

• When David Shayne and Julian have just seen Olive for the first time and are discussing putting her in the play at Nick Valenti's apartment building, the hallway which they walk down was also used in the movie Godfather, The (1972) when Lucca Brasi goes to visit the Tatalia family.
• Woody Allen got into a publicized court battle with producer Jean Doumanian over the question of editing this film for television and airplanes. Doumanian sought to edit offisive words with substitute words, while Allen just wanted them "bleeped." Under the terms of their contract, New York State Supreme Court Justice Bernard Fried ruled that Doumanian had the right of final edit, but Doumanian should cover Allen's costs.
