Scenes with elevators and escalators where filmed at a real mall in Stamford, Connecticut. Some exterior shots where filmed at the actual Beverly Center Mall in Los Angeles.
*During the scene in the movie theater which features "Salaam Bombay!" (1988), while Woody is standing and blocking people's view of the screen, the movie's subtitle reads, "Get out of my way..."
*The title is a play on the film "Scener ur ett äktenskap" (1973) ("Scenes From a Marriage"), directed by Ingmar Bergman, a major influence on Woody Allen. Both films deal with a couple who cheat on each other. [ [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102849/trivia Scenes from a Mall (1991) - Trivia ] ]
