The most iconic scene in the 2005 romantic comedy 'Hitch' emerged unexpectedly when director Andy Tennant adapted suggestions from Will Smith, originally meant for a different sequence. The scene involved Smith's character guiding client Albert to a woman's door, shifting from a simple street walk. As they worked under pressure—particularly with Sony chairman Amy Pascal expected for dinner—Tennant and Smith crafted this memorable interaction organically, illustrating the unpredictability and creativity that can arise in film production.
The scene, in which Will Smith's date doctor Alex "Hitch" Hitchens is helping show his client Albert how to walk a woman to her door, was originally a lot different.
Initially, Hitch and Albert were simply walking down a brownstone-lined street in New York City reacting to the news that Albert has been photographed dancing with socialite Allegra.
Smith thought the location was 'a great street,' and suggested doing a bigger scene. 'Now, he's right,' Tennant said, 'But it's also, 'Uh-oh, there goes the schedule.''
With any movie, shooting is scheduled around what's written in the script, and changing plans last-minute can be a logistical nightmare.
