    • Trivia
      Orson Welles urged Peter Bogdanovich to photograph the film in black and white, but the studio balked at this idea. At the March 2008 Bogdanovich retrospective held at the Castro Theater, San Francisco, the director's cut of the film was presented in a black and white print.
    • Goofs
      When the man shoots the movie camera, the hits on the camera do not match where his is pointing the gun, and the last flash on the camera has no corresponding gunshot sound.
    • Quotes

      Alice Forsyte: [at a movie premiere] I hear he's changing the title for New York.

      Leo Harrigan: Yeah? To what?

      Alice Forsyte: "The Birth of a Nation."

    • Alternate versions
      A black-and-white director's cut runs seven minutes longer.

    Big 70's flop is not nearly as bad as its reputation

    This expensive 70's flop is not nearly as bad as its reputation indicates. Leonard Maltin's review is pretty accurate. And it's got some fine performances by a good cast which includes- Ryan O'neal, Burt Reynolds, Tatum O neal, John Ritter, Stella Stevens and (especially) Brian Keith. Two highlights- Tatum's negotiating and Brian Keith's speech at the end. It's got some dull stretches and the slapstick gets wearying,overall not bad.
