Short description

Autumn in New York follows the sexual exploits of Will Keane - New York restaurateur, infamous verging-on-50 playboy, master of the no-commitment seduction - until he runs into an unexpected dead end when he meets Charlotte Fielding. Charlotte is half Will's age and twice his match, a 21 year-old free spirit yearning to get out and taste the excitement of adult life.

What's left behind the scenes

  • In the hospital where Charlotte is undergoing surgery, Will reads her Edna St. Vincent Millay's (1892-1950) poem "To a Beginning Poet".
  • At a Halloween party, Charlotte portrays the poet Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) and reads an excerpt from her poem "Two Butterflies": "Two butterflies, a noon, a sigh, / Above the farm in waltz did fly. / Then, leaving firmament behind, / Upon a rod they paused, confined. / Again, in whirl, away they soar / In the blue depths of the sky. / Though yet no ports are known to them / Where they may rest securely."
  • No previews were held for film critics. Both Richard Gere and Winona Ryder publicly opposed previews, citing various reasons, while MGM released a statement saying that the actors simply did not want the film's unexpected ending to be revealed in advance.
  • The first major Hollywood film directed by a woman director of Asian descent.
  • In the hospital, where Charlotte is recovering from surgery, Will reads her the poem "To a Young Poet" (1892-1950) by Edna St. Vincent Millay.
  • At the Halloween party, Charlotte portrays the poet Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) and reads an excerpt from her poem "Two Butterflies": "Two butterflies, at noon, a sigh, / Floated on the farm in waltz. / Then, leaving the firmament, / They froze on a perch. / Now again in a whirlwind they swirl / In the radiance of the heavens. / Though there are not yet ports / Where they are ready to perch."
  • Filming took place in New York from September 13 to November 17, 1999.
