Trivia / S.O.B.

• Channel Hop: The film's rights went to Warner Bros. after they purchased Lorimar, the film's producers.
• Creator Couple: This was the fourth film Julie Andrews made with her husband Blake Edwards (following Darling Lili, The Tamarind Seed and 10), and they made several more in the future..
• Playing with Character Type: Julie Andrews, at that point best known for playing the lead in G-rated musicals, is in the role of Sally Miles, a Hollywood actress... best known for playing the lead in G-rated musicals. ("Some of her fans still don't think she goes to the bathroom!") Julie was definitely toying with her typecast image as Sally goes through her raunchy shenanigans.
• Saved from Development Hell: Edwards wrote the screenplay not long after Darling Lili's release. After 10 (1979) became a massive hit he got an Auteur License and chose to make this film.
• Write What You Know: The film is loosely inspired by Blake Edwards' experiences with Executive Meddling on Darling Lili and Wild Rovers. Eva Brown is also based on Hollywood superagent Sue Mengers.
