Robert Redford loathed wearing a suit and tie all day which was required for his character. During breaks between filming, Redford wore western boots and a black cowboy hat.
This is one of Jane Fonda's favorites of her own films. She once tweeted, "too bad we never got Neil Simon to do a sequel... those characters 40 years later"
The film role of 'Corie Bratter' was originally offered to actress Natalie Wood who had already played opposite Robert Redford in two movies. Wood declined the offer though, because she wanted to take time off.
A running gag is the absence of an elevator to get to the newlyweds' 5th-floor (plus stoop) apartment; new arrivals are out of breath throughout the film. For its release in France, however, the dubbed dialogue placed the apartment on the 9th floor (equivalent to the 10th floor in the US), since in France, older buildings with six stories and no elevator are not uncommon and audiences wouldn't have understood why climbing the stairs was so arduous.
In supporting roles, Mildred Natwick and Herb Edelman also appeared (in the same roles) in the Broadway production of "Barefoot in the Park" (1963-67).
"Ethel: I had to park the car three blocks away. Then it started to rain so I ran the last two blocks. Then my heel got caught in a subway grating. When I pulled my foot out, I stepped in a puddle. Then a cab went by and splashed my stockings. If the hardware store downstairs was open, I was going to buy a knife and kill myself."
"Corie Bratter: You're almost nearly perfect! Paul Bratter: That's a rotten thing to say!"
