Der Herr der Gezeiten

When NBC broadcast the movie in 1995, Barbra Streisand called the network mid-movie to request they lower the volume on the commercials, which were loud compared to the relatively quiet movie. The weekend operations manager obliged, reducing them 2 decibels.

Sally's Southern accent appears and disappears as the film progresses.

Laserdisc version contains an alternate end credits sequence with Barbra Streisand's vocal performance of "Places That Belong To You" (which was replaced in the final film by new end title music by James Newton Howard after Streisand felt that to include the song would bring back the Dr. Lowenstein character and destroy the focal point of the story, which would be the Tom Wingo character). Also, alternate versions of the Tom and Susan affair scenes, and the following deleted scenes (presented in a separate supplementary section at the end of the film):

• Tom remembering his late brother Luke;
• Tom visiting Savannah in the hospital early in the film;
• Tom confronting his father Henry;
• Tom sending flowers to Dr. Lowenstein;
• Lila being ridiculed as "white trash";
• and a love affair montage.
