Trivia:
Barbra Streisand was originally offered the lead role, but turned it down because she thought she was too young at the time. Also, she didn't think people would accept her as a failed lounge singer. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When the alarm clock goes off, Alice knocks it to the floor. Alice goes back to sleep and some short time later, without either her or Tommy having moved in the bed, the alarm clock has returned to the nightstand. moreSoundtrack:

The beginning of the movie starts off with a bang. Martin Scorsese sees to that with his brilliant directing ability. I laughed out loud within the first minute. Even the opening credits and song were perfect for the intro. Harvey Keitel was great in his performance as well. He played his character to a T. But Ellen Burstyn completely takes the cake as far as performances go in this wonderfully realistic film. I want to rush and see every movie she's ever been in!!
