Barbra Streisand hand-picked Mandy Patinkin for this movie, and he politely declined several times because he did not like the script. He was eventually invited to Streisand's house where they could discuss the parts he wanted to change. He then agreed to be in the film.
Amy Irving became the first actress to be nominated for an Academy Award and a Razzie for the same performance. She won neither.
Yentl's character was meant to be 26, Barbra Streisand was 40 when she played her.
Barbra Streisand had the movie filmed in long takes without cuts because that's what she was used to with her background in theatre.
Steven Spielberg called the film "the best directorial debut since Citizen Kane (1941)".
"Yentl: Why is it that every book I buy, every bookseller has the same old argument? Yentl's Father: You know why. Yentl: I envy them. Yentl's Father: The booksellers? Yentl: No, not the booksellers, the students. Talking about life, the mysteries of the universe and I'm learning how to tell a herring from a carp. Yentl's Father: Yentl, for the thousandth time, men and women..." Yentl: [cuts him off] have different obligations, I know, but... Yentl's Father: [cuts her off] and don't ask why. Yentl's Father: [sees her disappointment] Go on, get the book. Yentl: Thank you, papa! Yentl's Father: The shutters, darling. Yentl: We don't have to hide my studying from God, then why the neighbors? Yentl's Father: Why? Because I trust God will understand. I'm not so sure about the neighbors."
"Rabbi Zalman: It's by their questions that we choose our students, not only by their answers."
