Production Notes



Dr. Fiedler played by Tom Conti is a parody of Dr Fassbender played by Peter Sellers in the movie What's New Pussycat?.

Bill Kenwright had to mortgage his own 1 million London home to pay for its production. Geoff Morrow who wrote the screenplay also wrote the 1977-hit Can't Smile Without You. Despite being second billed, Linford Christie only makes a short cameo appearance in the pre-credit scene of the film.

Reception



Julianne Pidduck from Sight & Sound praised several aspects of the film, however she concluded: " But despite all efforts, an uninspired script and uneven direction fail to make Suzanne's unhappy lurches from mourning widow to tender lover plausible."
