Star John Travolta, who was originally attached to play the lead male role of Julian Kay, had recently starred in a film with Lily Tomlin called Attimo per attimo (1978), which had failed at the box office. Reportedly, its storyline of a relationship between an older woman and a younger man was believed to be too similar in subject matter for Travolta to do another picture with this kind of plot, especially given the commercial failure of Attimo per attimo (1978). Moreover, it is also believed that the then-current illness of Travolta's father and the then-recent death of Travolta's mother contributed to Travolta leaving the picture. Reportedly, one of Travolta's reasons turned down the movie was because he wanted final cut approval and director Paul Schrader allegedly would not give it to him.
