Production

According to Jacob, the film was shot in five weeks. The fact that her English was “shaky” at the time helped Jacob earn the role of Beatrice.

Reception

Vincent Canby of The New York Times gave the film a negative review, calling it "the sort of failed comedy that becomes increasingly difficult to watch as it proceeds."

Michael Wilmington of the Los Angeles Times also gave the film a negative review and wrote that it "means to soar and sing, but it’s blocky, awkward, forced."

The Chicago Tribune also gave the film a negative review: "Johnson, in her first feature film, has turned out a wan romantic comedy whose screenplay is its downfall, a concoction containing more holes than laughs, more cliches than creativity."
