In an interview with CrankyCritic.com during the late 1990s, John Travolta said of this film: ""I think I learned 20 years ago when I did Fiebre de sábado por la noche (1977) and Vaselina (1978) and was touted the biggest star in the world; then I did a movie called Moment by Moment (1978) and you'd have thought I'd have sunk the Titanic. I was so mistreated as a result of that film that I can never again take any of it seriously. So I guess I learned that you've got to be tough and expect the worst, but nothing could be worse than that".
John Travolta has said that the reason he made this movie was that he wanted to work with actress-comedian Lily Tomlin.
Actress Lily Tomlin and writer-director Jane Wagner are married in real life. They were married in 2013.
John Travolta's first ever cinema film flop of his career with Travolta appearing in a leading role.
The writers of "Mystery Science Theater 3000" (1988) tried to obtain the rights to use this film on their show, but they were turned down by the studio.
