Trivia from Everyone Says I Love You

• Tracey Ullman and Liv Tyler filmed scenes for this film, but all were cut by director Woody Allen to reduce running time.
• Woody Allen had to tell Goldie Hawn to try to sing worse because she sang too well to be believable as a normal person just breaking into song.
• The actors sing their own songs except for Drew Barrymore, who convinced Woody Allen that her singing was too awful even for the realistic singing voices he was after. She said she doesn't even sing in the shower. Allen's comments on his decision was because the singing was "outside the limits of human tolerance."
• In the foreign release of this film the producers wanted all the singing in English, and all the dialog dubbed. There is one scene where Goldie Hawn is speaking while Alan Alda is singing live on the set. This segment of singing had to be re-dubbed into English by Vocal Contortionist Jeff Bergman - Segment Produced by Roy Yokelson.
• The title of the film comes from a song in the Marx Brothers movie Horse Feathers (1932). Each of the Marx Brothers sing their own version of the song at one time or another during the movie and the melody can be heard towards the end of Everyone Says I Love You, even though no one actually sings any of the Marx Brothers versions.
• Crew or equipment visible: The camera and Woody Allen are reflected in a mirror during the dance scene in the Jewelry.
• 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.
