- AnecdotesScreenwriter "Esther Dale" is a pseudonym for Elaine May. May did not want her real name to be credited when she wasn't directing. So, for this reason alone, she decided to use this pseudonym. She was rather annoyed with director Otto Preminger for revealing her identity when promoting the film, although he praised her work.

- Générique farfeluIn the film's opening, three red-colored "legs-crossed icons" (the trademark that Saul Bass created for the film, as seen on the poster) converge on a blank screen to form one whole icon. The title appears and then below the title, it reads "AN OTTO PREMINGER FILM". Cast and crew are credited in the closing, but nowhere else. Preminger was the only one credited in the opening.
- Autres versionsSome versions cut the intimate scene between Ken Howard and Dyan Cannon, in which Howard's character takes a faux nude picture of Cannon.

Commentaire en vedette
Otto Preminger's later films are an acquired taste. But this one, while completely outrageous, seems to be one of his better efforts.
Some of the more memorable scenes: Burgess Meredith walking around nude at a cocktail party (!); Ken Howard impotent while making love to Dyan Cannon; Cannon attempting to seduce obese James Coco who is wearing a girdle (!); and Cannon finding her husband's black book with notes about sex with other women.
Despite its unusualness, SUCH GOOD FRIENDS is an enjoyable picture to watch because it's something you don't have to take seriously. It is obviously a black comedy and the first few minutes establish the mood perfectly. It does become a bit of a maudlin soap opera where Cannon's character is figuring out her husband's infidelities and trying to decide if she still loves the guy or not. But the melodramatic aspects are definitely overshadowed by the satirical look at urban mores that Preminger presents.
