In Robert J. Stanton 's Views From A Window: Conversations With Gore Vidal (pg .136-137) Gore Vidal says when Richard Zanuck and David Brown who were running 20th Century Fox screened Joanna for him and told him Michael Sarne would be directing Myra Breckinridge,he protested that Joanna was one of the 10 worst films and compared it to 52 Salem commercials run back to back. Michael Sarne had directed commercials and a short film before this, and after Myra Breckinridge he directed commercials, co-directed a Portuguese film in Brazil,acted in bit parts, co-directed The Glastonbury music festival, and a low budget film based on Gideon Sams' novelette The Punk in England in the 90s. Vidal went on to say that after Myra Breckinridge, Michael Sarne worked as a waiter in a London pub where they put on shows in the afternoon and called that "proof that there is a God, and in nature, perfect symmetry."
A novel adaptation of the story was written by Michael Sarne.
