Years later, Meryl Streep admitted she did this film after her fiancé John Cazale's death earlier that year, as a way to cope with his loss. She noted, "I did this film on automatic pilot," Streep remembered, "I couldn't have worked with a more lovely, more understanding person than Alan Alda."
First cinema movie with a produced screenplay by Alan Alda. Alda spent three years writing the script, incorporating in it a number of the problems an actor faces. Alda was also the film's lead actor as well as being the writer and was still appearing in the TV comedy series M*A*S*H (1972) when this movie was made and released.
Actress Meryl Streep won a number of Best Supporting Actress awards for her role in this movie. These included the New York Film Critics Circle Award, the National Society of Film Critics Award, the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures Award and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award. Most of these were awarded to Streep for her performance not only this film but also for Manhattan (1979) and/or also for Kramer vs. Kramer (1979).
Supposedly, this film's central character Joe Tynan was loosely based on the life of American politician Ted Kennedy.
The Arizona Republic refused to print advertising or even theatre listings for this movie, on the grounds that readers would object to the word "seduction" in the title, or to the copy: "There are many ways to be seduced. Fame. Power. Love. Joe Tynan knows them all." (The previous week the Republic had readily printed a quarter-page ad for Americathon (1979) which showed Uncle Sam "flashing" a crowd of people.) Eventually the Republic agreed to print the listings, and a censored version of the ad which read "There are many ways to Fame. Power. Love. Joe Tynan knows them all."
"Ellie: I guess what makes my husband special is how much he cares."
"Aldena Kittner: You know, I really don't think you should be seen talking to that horse's ass. Joe Tynan: Which one? Aldena Kittner: My husband."
