Reportedly, several alternate endings were written and filmed before settling on the one in the released version. One of the unused endings was to leave the viewer not entirely sure that what they'd seen was reality or yet another fantasy sequence.
Barbra Streisand said of this movie around the time it was made and released: "This story interests me more than anything else I've ever done. It's a departure from the romances, slapstick comedies, and musicals I have worked on up till now."
First cinema movie that Barbra Streisand made with her then new production company "First Artists", which she formed with Dustin Hoffman, Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, and Sidney Poitier.
Director Irvin Kershner told Barbra Streisand biographer James Spada that he wasn't happy with the shooting script but was advised not to express his dissatisfaction to Barbra Streisand, who might walk off the movie. Several days into filming, Streisand went to Kershner and asked him why they were having so much trouble, and he told her they had started shooting with a weak script. Kershner said, "Your people warned me not to tell you." To which Streisand laughed, "That's ridiculous! If a script isn't good enough, let's work to improve it."
This and her movie All Night Long (1981) (the only movie until Meet the Fockers (2004) in which she was only a supporting player and not the star), grossed roughly $4 million in total, making them her lowest-grossing productions. Despite the box-office failure of this movie, it garnered her some of the best personal reviews of her career up to that time, and is reportedly one of her favorite performances she's given on-screen.

"Mrs. Koerner: Remember, marriage is a 75 - 25 proposition... the woman gives 75."
