Barbra Streisand and Omar Sharif had an affair that lasted for the duration of the production. Director William Wyler, who knew about the affair, tried to channel their real-life chemistry into their performances. Streisand had also enjoyed a liaison with Sydney Chaplin, who portrayed Nick on stage. Both affairs would contribute to the end of her marriage to Elliott Gould.
Barbra Streisand once stated that if any of her films could be put in a time vault, she would want to be remembered for this one.
The first half of the final musical number, "My Man", was recorded "live" to maximize Barbra Streisand's dramatic rendition, and because she hated lip-syncing.
William Wyler was asked by a friend whether Barbra Streisand had been hard to work with. He replied, "No, not too hard, considering it was the first movie she ever directed."
During the "My Man" number, William Wyler had Omar Sharif stand behind a nearby curtain and talk to Barbra Streisand between takes. Their affair was ending as the shoot came to an end, and Wyler knew that Sharif's presence would have an effect on her performance.
"Fannie Brice: I'm a bagel on a plate full of onion rolls!"
"Fanny Brice: Where I come from, when two people... well, sort of love each other... oh, never mind. Nick Arnstein: Well? What do they do when they "sort of love each other"? Fanny Brice: Well, one of them says, "Why don't we get married?" Nick Arnstein: Really? Fanny Brice: Yeah, and sometimes it's even the man."
