Minghella said he wrote the script specifically as "a vehicle for [Stevenson] to express all her talents. She plays [[piano]], likes dancing and has a quirky side to her which she usually can't express in the classical parts she is asked for."<ref name=mees>{{cite web |url= http://www.talkingpix.co.uk/Anthony%20Minghella.htm|title= Anthony Minghella|accessdate=2008-04-08 |last= Mees|first= Jaap|publisher= Talking Pictures}}</ref> The title comes from a [[word game]] played by the main characters, in which they challenge each other to by turns repeat and add to a series of [[adverb]]s describing the depths of their mutual affection. The working title for the film was '[[Cello]]', a reference not only to the cello within the film, but also to the [[Italian language|Italian]] word 'cielo' for heaven. The film was made-for-TV, and produced in a 28-day shooting schedule for just $650,000.<ref name=minghella>Anthony Minghella, Commentary with the MGM DVD release</ref>
