    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Robert De Niro learned to play the saxophone (in three months) in order to make his performance look more authentic. Unfortunately, his sax playing still had to be overdubbed and it is veteran jazz musician George Auld who does the playing and also plays a band leader.
    • Goofs
      Although set during the 1940s many of the characters in the film have modern 1970s hair styles, facial hair, and clothing.
    • Quotes

      Jimmy: I guess a little small talk's in order here now.

      Francine: Can it get any smaller?

      Jimmy: Now look I can take a hint.

      Francine: Can you also take a walk?

      Jimmy: Do you want me to leave?

      Francine: YES!

      Jimmy: I'll leave right now.

      Francine: BYE

      Jimmy: You expect me to leave after the way you just talked to me?

      Francine: Will you go away?

      Jimmy: I don't want to. I want to stay here and annoy you.

    • Alternate versions
      Originally released at 153 minutes, then cut to 136 minutes and finally re-released in 1981 in a 164-minutes special edition with restored material, including the complete musical number "Happy Endings," which was seen in a much shorter version in the originally released version of the film.

    This film is at its best in the longest 164-min. form.
    What is fantastic and wonderful about this film is the music, the sets and when Liza Minnelli sings. Liza is superb in her performance and Robert DeNiro plays a character that is arrogant, brutal and slightly erratic in a way that only DeNiro can perform. His character is quite disturbing to watch as the film takes a serious turn. There are several twists and turns in this film. Try to see the 2 hours + 44 min. version that includes more of the "Happy Ending" musical number that features Larry Kent. Beware of prints that have been cut down to 153 min. and 137 min. This film is at its best in the 164 min. form. I enjoy the performance of the woman who sings "Honeysuckle Rose". Whether this movie has a happy ending is something to behold. It can be best interpreted by the viewer. Some woman (and men) may say "hurray" for Liza while Alpha-males may be on the DeNiro's character's side. Watch Liza for her excellent, dramatic performance. This is one film I wish they could have made a sequel to.
