Trivia

To prep his writers for the type of approach he wanted in this film, Otto Preminger screened Diary of a Mad Housewife (1970) for Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne at a Paramount screening room (with son 'Erik Preminger' and wife Hope).

When Ken Howard shows Dyan Cannon the nude photo he took of her, the face is Cannon's but the body is someone else's. Dyan Cannon was uncomfortable doing a nude scene, especially directed by Otto Preminger, so she went for this option.

Quotes

Nurse: [taking notes for a prospective blood donor] Have you ever had hepatitis? Molly Hastings: No.

Richard Messinger: Richard Messinger, the bestselling author of a famous children's novel, editor of a beloved New York picture magazine. Rich in comparison with the poor. Brilliant in comparison with the moderately intelligent. Happy in comparison with the glum. Dead at the tender age of 30 only after being put into comparison with the living!
