After the screenplay had been completed, the Disney studio put the project into turnaround, then after this, every major Hollywood studio turned it down. Writer-director Paul Mazursky declared that the various movie studios thought the story was "too Jewish".
The only non-Best Picture Oscar nominee for the 1990 year to be nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay Academy Award.
One of a number of theatrical feature films from director Paul Mazursky examining such themes related to swinging, love affairs, spouse swapping, marriage break-up, and personal relationship experimentation. It was a love triangle in 'Willie & Phil' (1980) whilst it was a love quadrangle in 'Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice' (1969). Such types of themes were also examined in Mazursky's films 'Blume in Love' (1973), 'Scenes from a Mall' (1991), 'An Unmarried Woman' (1978), 'Enemies: A Love Story' (1989), 'Next Stop, Greenwich Village' (1976), and 'Down and Out in Beverly Hills' (1986).
The film was made and released about twenty-three years after its source novel had been first published serially in the 'Jewish Daily Forward' in 1966.
After the picture went into development hell when Disney and all the major Hollywood studios passed on the picture, executive producer Joe Roth read the finished screenplay and took the project to Morgan Creek Pictures. Roth was able to green-light the picture with a budget of US $9.5 million and and a distribution deal with the Twentieth Century Fox studio who had previously turned down the project.
"Tamara: Don't worry. She won't divorce you. If she does, you can always go to the other one. She throws you out too -- you can come to me."
"Tamara: The truth is, I have no claim on him. He probably always loved you. I'm, I'm sure he slept with you before me. Yadwiga: Oh, no! I was an innocent girl! I came to him a virgin. Tamara: Oh, congratulations. Men love virgins. If every man had his way, every woman would lie down a prostitute and get up a virgin."
