Kate Winslet & James Gandolfini, Romance and Cigarettes
John Turturro, the director, thought things were getting too hot and heavy during the couple's sex scenes, so he had them film their parts separately. "So I decided to take James out of the scene and I put Kate on a big bouncy ball and just had her bounce and look around," he said. "The problem was how to connect them so when it was James' turn, he pretended to have sex and I threw Kate's wig around...so if you watch the scene, they're completely free, but they're not in the same room together."
