Set design process and visual choices

Multi-hyphanate writer, director, and producer Nancy Meyers shares how studios initially rejected her idea for a romantic film about an older couple. No one wanted to see people of a certain age be sexy, but Meyers believed in the value and impact of telling a non-traditional love story. Meyers' brilliant writing and masterful production design found their perfect match in stars Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson. Nicholson, who always wanted to star in a "tuxedo comedy", brought life to the character with improvised props and gestures, while Keaton's dignified yet vulnerable performance resonated with women across the country.
