Short description

CW Briggs is a veteran insurance investigator, with many successes. Betty Ann Fitzgerald is a new employee in the company he works for, with the task of reorganizing the office. They don't like each other - or at least that's what they think. During a night out with the rest of the office employees, they go to watch Voltan, a magician who secretly hypnotizes both of them.

What's left behind the scenes

Tom Hanks and Jack Nicholson declined the offer to play Briggs, and Woody Allen decided to take on the role himself.
Usually, the screenwriter and director of this film, Woody Allen, is very protective of his scripts. Helen Hunt (who played one of the main roles) first saw the script for the future film only when she was offered the role. The actress had to read the script in one sitting and immediately give it to the courier to take the script back to Allen.
