1 | * AdaptationDisplacement: Most people tend to think of the 1970s TV version first, before the original play or the movie that preceded it. |
2 | * DiagnosedByTheAudience: Felix is fastidious, obsessive, {{man child}}ish, and insensitive without meaning to be. Even when he's trying to be on his best behavior, he finds it difficult to impossible to control his quirks. None of his screen-time ever gives a diagnosis for any of his unusual characteristics. |
3 | * QuestionableCasting: Upon the female version's debut with Sally Struthers as Florence (female Felix) and Creator/RitaMoreno as Olive (female Oscar), at least a few reviewers referred to their casting as bizarre and "quixotic". To a lesser extent, Jenny Seagrove's casting as Olive in the 2001 West End production of the female version. |
4 | * SignatureScene: From the play, "It's not spaghetti, it's linguini!" For many years, it was ''the'' go-to scene for first-time actors doing "partner" scenes. |
