The film was given a very limited release in the USA in late 1978, but only on the West Coast. Over two years later, it was shown theatrically on the East Coast and proved a big hit with critics, going on to win many awards, including 2 acting awards from the New York Film Critics.
Due to language, the film was originally given an "R" rating from the MPAA in the U.S. The rating was changed to "PG" on appeal.
