Peter Bogdanovich has stated that Woody Allen watched the movie three or four times during its theatrical run, and later credited the film for inspiring Tout le monde dit I love you (1996).
Peter Bogdanovich considered playing Pritchard so he could star with his then-girlfriend Cybill Shepherd. He offered the role to Elliott Gould who turned it down before Burt Reynolds accepted it.
Peter Bogdanovich once said of this film, "Studios bury more films than the public or the critics. Fox gave up on 'At Long Last Love' instantly. A $6 million film was written off while it was doing well because their lawyers told them they could make more money that way."
Cole Porter started writing the lyrics to the song 'At Long Last Love' while waiting for medics to arrive after being in an accident which left him partially paralyzed.
