Strick took over Wolf from novelist Jim Harrison, and Batman Returns from the brilliant Daniel Waters (Heathers). "Sometimes I feel like a burglar," says Strick. "It's like being invited to someone's house for a week and rifling through their drawers. Being assigned to rewrite a script by a really good writer, you may think that all you're doing is taking this wonderfully idiosyncratic thing and homogenizing it into a 'Hollywood' movie.

Ramona's attorney, Richard Harrington, called on expert witnesses to discredit Isabella's and Rose's therapeutic techniques. Harvard bulimia expert Harrison Pope presented a paper stating that there is "no relationship" between childhood sexual abuse and the development of bulimia. Martin Orne, a University of Pennsylvania psychiatrist who pioneered research of hypnosis and sodium amytal, wrote in a court brief that the drug is "not useful in ascertaining 'truth' . . . The patient becomes sensitive and receptive to suggestions due to the context and to the comments of the interviewers." Dr. Lenore Terr, a prominent defender of recovered memories...
