    • Trivia
      When gossip columnist Rex Reed visited the set, he found leading lady Valerie Perrine morose in her trailer. "'Lenny' was a fun set. This one isn't. I wish I was back working again with Bobby (Fosse) and Dusty (Hoffman)."
    • Goofs
      The siren of the ambulance transporting W.C. Fields to the hospital is a modern electronic version, not the air driven type that would have been in use in the forties when he last lived.
