Robert Mulligan started directing, but he had to bow out after four days filming due to the 1981 strike by the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. The film was shut down for three months and when production re-commenced, scheduling conflicts meant Mulligan had to withdraw from the film and as such the director was replaced with veteran George Cukor. He was 81 years old and in semi-retirement when he was persuaded to direct. This is Cukor's final film as director.
