Conflict on the set? Anyone?

Anyone know what the conflict on the set was, or was it perhaps contract problems? I found this little film so enjoyable, but I saw something on the Biography channel about Demi Moore, or Jeff Daniels, or maybe the director....I forget (sorry).....but it indicated that the film was lucky to have been made, because of the disharmony on the set.

I find it hard to believe, because it was such a wonderful little appetizer of a film....nothing you'd want a steady diet of, but it had just enough good bits to make you want more.....

Oh, parenthetically, there was such a nice shot of the WTC....I'm positive it was taken from Upper West Side....(well, I'm NOT positive, since I'm not a local...haven't been there in years).

Thanks in advance for the info....

I don't remember the conflict...I do know Demi took over the role after Meg Ryan left. I also remember that Demi was pregnant while making this movie.

Dammit Carol Sue, where is the vodka?!

I was ON the set of that movie. Every day. There was no conflict on the set, at all. And Terry was the nicest director Ive ever worked for AND he remembered me years later. Demi was only pregnant in the reshoots, months later. Mostly the scenes in her apartment when shes getting ready to leave. (Has pillow over stomach)
