Behind The Scenes
This film featured the screen debut of Frank Langella, who had previously been a stage actor. It also saw the first of many collaborations between Brooks and Dom DeLuise: they both worked on many of Brooks' films during the 1970s and 80s. Principal filming was done in Yugoslavia, a place Brooks felt was too cold. He went on with the shooting of the film, which later opened to mixed reviews in the U.S.

Famous quotes containing the word scenes:
“One reason writers write is out of revenge. Life hurts; certain ideas and experiences hurt; one wants to clarify, to set out illuminations, to replay the old bad scenes and get the Treppenworte said—the words one didn’t have the strength or ripeness to say when those words were necessary for one’s dignity or survival.”
—Cynthia Ozick (b. 1928)
