* OneSceneWonder: The women all basically qualify, but Creator/RitaMoreno as Louise counts in particular, since she's only in the final five minutes of the film.

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct:
** Art Garfunkel had been chosen by Creator/MikeNichols for the EnsembleCast of ''Film/CatchTwentyTwo'', but was still best-known as the LesserStar in Music/SimonAndGarfunkel. His impressive portrayal of Sandy opened up a modest acting career for him alongside his music.
** Ann-Margret, sexpot star of musicals and frothy comedies, proved she could be a serious actress here, even earning an Oscar nomination.
** Creator/CandiceBergen's complex performance as Susan turned her overnight from "Creator/EdgarBergen's beautiful daughter who also does movies" into a leading lady.
* HilariousInHindsight: Jonathan delivering an [[Series/TheTonightShowStarringJohnnyCarson Ed [=McMahon=]-esque]] "Heeere's Bobbie!" during the slide show, years before Creator/JackNicholson would immortalize a similar line in ''Film/TheShining''.
* HollywoodHomely: Cindy calls Bobbie a "tub of lard". Granted, her sedentary lifestyle probably doesn't put her in the best physical shape. Still, she's talking about a character played by ''Ann-Margret''!
* OvershadowedByControversy: The frank conversations about sex, as well as nudity and some fairly graphic sex scenes made this film a huge censorship flashpoint in 1971. Most famously, the city of Albany, Georgia banned it. This was appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court, where it was overturned. It was an important decision, limiting the right of government to censor material, and establishing that serious, non-titillating depictions of sex in art don't fit the definition of obscenity.
