Although she'd starred in three theatrical movies and had made countless TV appearances in the 15 year prior to this movie, Dame Olivia Newton-John was insecure about her acting abilities and decided to enroll in acting training in preparation for the film (and in fact her character is also part of an acting workshop).
The movie's soundtrack was so successful that it went platinum.
After striking box office gold in Grease (1978), the 20th Century Fox studio re-teamed John Travolta and Dame Olivia Newton-John five years later for this romantic comedy. To date, this is the second and final star teaming.
Bill Conti was the original composer for this film, but he left the project as his original score was rejected by writer/director John Herzfeld. He was then subsequently replaced by composer Patrick Williams. Williams had been asked by Herzfeld and producers Joe Wizan and Roger M. Rothstein to create a melody based off Dame Olivia Newton-John's hit single "Twist of Fate" which was released just before the film. However this was done so late that 20th Century Fox was unable offer to preview screenings to the news media, and final prints were unavailable until a few days prior to the December 16, 1983 release. Meanwhile, Conti was allegedly unaware that he had been replaced. Lionel Newman, the senior vice president of music for 20th Century Fox said that Conti's dismissal was "amicable". Oddly enough, Conti's credit is retained on the back cover of the film's soundtrack album as well as a 1995 VHS Reissue and on the back cover of the film's DVD release.
Principal photography initially began on location in New York City. But inclement weather forced the production to move to 20th Century Fox Studios in Hollywood. The Heaven sequences were filmed on Stage 27 at MGM Studios in Culver City. The ending was filmed at Warner Bros Studios (at the time known as The Burbank Studios due to Warner Bros sharing space with Columbia Pictures), using the New York set built for Annie (1982) and would later be used for Friends (1994).
"Debbie: [showing the stolen money to Brando, her pet cat] Chicken livers forever!"
"Beasley: Come now, it was a valiant effort. Well, she did come through for him, didn't she? But to get him to perform a great sacrifice, well that was unrealistic, wasn't it? Alright, let's drop the act. He wouldn't flood the world. I mean, where would everybody go? Do you suppose he'd give them to me? Charlie: I told you, he's going to bring everyone up. He's going to end life. It'll be like Man never existed, becuase no one will be here to remember him. [Ruth starts to lead him away, but he shakes her off and turns back to Beasley] Charlie: Except you. [he walks away]"
