Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All
  • Stars Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty, both recent Oscar winners, were each paid $5 million, a sum that was considered impressive at that time and, in 2009, is still a considerable paycheck.
  • The film's budget was $55 million; it bombed at the box office, making only $12.7 million, a loss of over $42 million.
  • Writer/director Elaine May worked on the editing for months, and she only turned in a print of the film when the studio threatened legal action.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): When Marty Freed is sitting with Chuck and Lyle, after he first hears their act, he puts his hand up to his mouth ("Let me tell you what I told Tony Bennett..."). In the next shot, the hand is on the table.
