Points of Interest

In September 1989, Jeff Arch began working on a script for TriStar Pictures based on An Affair To Remember. Attracted by the local area, Arch originally placed the main protagonist as a resident in Crownsville in the initial draft. Tristar insisted that Arch choose a different location that would be more well-known to the American movie-going population. After several attempts to please TriStar, Arch finalised on Seattle. The reason often cited by Arch for the change of location was they could not think of a better title than Sleepless in Seattle.
