Trivia
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 La Fièvre du samedi soir (1977) and Grease (1978) and was touted the biggest star in the world; then I did a movie called Le temps d'une romance (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".

Goofs
In opening credit montage, Trisha is seen strolling through Beverly Hills shopping district carrying a coat and a bag from a boutique; by time movie has started she is still carrying same things, only now she is miles away, outside Schwab's Drugstore in West Hollywood - nowhere within convenient walking distance of Rodeo Drive.

Quotes
Trisha Rawlings: [clasping her hands worshipfully] Ohhhh... STRIP!

Cruel and Unusual punishment.

I caught this stink bomb a couple of months ago and watched out of morbid fascination. It really, Really sucks. I can't believe it didn't sink Travolta's career. He should've had his head examined for playing this crappy part. Fortunately, he rebounded and made much better films. I only watched it b/c I'd read about how horrible it is. Lame dialogue and a completely unsexy atmosphere make this more painful than drinking Drano.

A magazine recently posed the question about "Moment by Moment": "Ever wonder what might make you kill yourself? How about two hours of a young John Travolta prancing around in his tighty whiteys, repeatedly banging (what could pass for) his mother?" Well, the magazine was close to correct.
