The Flying Snail Scene
One very funny scene in the movie is where Vivian tries to eat escargot and it slips out, though the waiter manages to catch it and tells Vivian, “It happens all the time.” Perhaps you saw a similar scene years later in the 2001 film The Princess Diaries because it was duplicated in the said film. In The Princess Diaries, a film by Garry Marshall as well, the exact same actor landed the part of a waiter. When the main character Mia Thermopolis breaks some champagne flute after she hits it with a butter knife, she is told by the waiter that “it happens all the time.” After their mishaps, both Vivian and Mia goes on to eat a green dessert.

The Amazing Laugh
One scene in the movie shows Vivian lying on Edward’s hotel room floor and laughing at reruns of I Love Lucy. She laughs hysterically and it is a pretty amazing laugh, but do you know how Julia Roberts perfected it? Well, it wasn’t simply amazing acting because just off camera, some members of the crew were actually tickling her feet out of view. The laugh may have been genuine, but she wasn’t exactly laughing at the reruns.
