Michael Caine was 55 years old when this film was shot, and Steve Martin was 42. In order to make them appear roughly the same age (so as to make the disparity between the paths their lives had taken and the success or lack of it appear even more obvious) director Frank Oz had Caine made up quite heavily with the old Hollywood trick of facial skin tightening to make both men appear in the 45-50 age range. In Bedtime Story (1964), of which this film is a remake, there was actually a fourteen year age gap between stars David Niven (playing Caine's character) and Marlon Brando (playing Martin's).
