After its original 1979 release to bad reviews, director Joan Micklin Silver reedited the film for its 1982 release with the original title of Ann Beattie's novel and with a different ending than what was in the novel. Silver hated the "Head over Heels" title (as did Beattie) so she restored that, but changed the ending to what she felt was more in touch with reality, albeit more melancholy. With the happy ending removed, the film received much better reviews and something of a cult following. Unfortunately, Gloria Grahame did not get to see the success and popularity of the new version; she died October 5, 1981 before the revised version was released in 1982.
Director Joan Micklin Silver joked on the Blu-Ray commentary track that "everyone in the film is either eating, thinking of food, or doesn't have any food."
To this day, the original 1979 theatrical release under its renamed title "Head Over Heels" has never been released in any format. Only the 1982 re-release has been issued on home video and digital platforms.
Director Joan Micklin Silver loved working with Peter Riegert so much that she cast him as the lead in Crossing Delancey (1988) almost nine years after this film was released.
"Sam: What do you want from a child her age? She never even went to Woodstock! Charles: Neither did we. Sam: But we *could* have. Charles: That's true. Susan: Listen, Woodstock was just a bunch of naked stoners looking for a place to pee. I saw the movie!"
"Blind Man: What do you want? Charles: [laughing crazily] What do I want? I wanna marry Laura. I thought everybody knew that. I'd even settle for living with her. What do I want? Let's talk about what I have. You know what I have? I have, I have... an unemployed jacket salesman living in my spare room, I have a mother that won't get out of the bathtub, I have a sister that always wants me to be happy, I have a stepfather that wants me to take disco lessons and I have a secretary that wants me to throw parties so that she can make dips. And I have this boss that wants *me* to give his son advice on his sexual problems! Blind Man: You've been up all night. That only makes things look worse. Charles: Yeah? I really thought I was having a nervous breakdown for a second there. Blind Man: [sympathetically] Oh, sure!"
