Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesGeorge Segal originally was cast in the lead role but walked off the set shortly after filming began. Rumor had it that this was because Dame Julie Andrews' role had been built up. Allegedly, after the movie had been released, Segal was asked if he had seen it, and he replied by giving "the finger". This marks the first time that George was replaced by Dudley Moore. This happened again for the title role of Arthur (1981). Conversely, in Le miroir a deux visages (1996), Moore was replaced by Segal.
- GaffesWhen George is driving past the limo (as Jenny arrives at her wedding), he is driving on the wrong side of the road, having crossed a double-yellow line, and crashes head-first into a police car. The officer gives George a ticket for an expired license, no registration, and reckless driving, yet George is allowed to drive away. The officer even yells at George to "Go on, move it!"

George Webber: I was in the Royal Air Force as a matter of fact.
Bill Collins: I thought you had to be English to be in that.
George Webber: You do.
Bill Collins: You an English fella, huh?
George Webber: Mm-hmm.
Bill Collins: [after long reflection] That's all right.
- Générique farfeluWhen the credits of the cast begins to scroll up and out of the iris of the telescope's view into George and Samantha's penthouse, the members of the cast are listed but not the characters they played.
- Autres versionsThe TV print substitutes tamer versions for some of movie's racier moments. In particular, scenes featuring porn star Annette Haven as Dudley Moore's exhibitionist neighbor have been removed, replaced with scenes involving another actress. On scene features Moore's character using a telescope to watch a naked Haven making love. (In the TV version, a substitute actress kisses a man while wearing a robe.) A later nude orgy is replaced by a similar scene, but with everyone wearing bathing suits. In addition, the comedic lovemaking scene between Derek and Moore is played in the dark in the TV version.
Commentaire en vedette
Dudley Moore stars as a dissatisfied 42-year-old having his "midlife crisis". He turns in a good performance, even if his character is not very likeable. The comedy is mostly of the wry variety, although there are some physically comedic vignettes. Julie Andrews is wasted in a relatively small part with a bad hairstyle. Dee Wallace was quite charming in a small part. And Bo Derek looked very good, and her acting was certainly adequate, in spite of the reviews. The ending, while a bit predictable, carried some emotional power. It's worth seeing, but no classic.
