The clips contain about 28 minutes of footage altogether, or just over a third of the film\u2019s 82-minute running time. I wouldn\u2019t recommend watching them without seeing the entire film first, but they do contain some of the film\u2019s funniest and most poignant moments. Check them out below (though several of them, for some reason, currently require you to watch them at the YouTube website itself).<\/p>\n<p>1: Cecilia (Mia Farrow) tries to forget her sorrows by watching a movie over and over, and one of the characters \u2014 Tom Baxter (Jeff Daniels) \u2014 takes notice:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pLC_hRDO7Hk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>2: The immediate aftermath of Tom Baxter\u2019s departure from the movie screen:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/75ovyrTzuYY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>3: Tom discovers some big differences between the real world and the movie world:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cyEqzALZmeA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>4: Cecilia meets Gil Shepherd (also Daniels), the actor who played Tom Baxter:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_T6r7w_m504?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>5: Cecilia is \u201cinspired\u201d by the imaginary man in her life:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QanZzw7zh7M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>6: Tom gets philosophical with some prostitutes before learning what they do:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bryVfEK0U4k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>7: \u201cI just met a wonderful man.
