Trivia

The budget for this film blew-out from US $6.5 million to US $10 million. Director Bob Fosse went over-budget before filming the famous "Bye, Bye Life" finale. The Columbia studio refused to give him any more money. At an impasse, Columbia execs privately showcased much of what was in the can of the film for the president of Twentieth Century-Fox. Impressed, the president agreed that Fox would finance the remainder of the shoot; he also asked for and received distribution and cable rights. Profits from the picture were split according to the contract between the two studios, although Fox received top billing over Columbia in the credits.
