  • Doing It for the Art: Griffin Dunne, Mark Metcalf and Amy Robinson pooled the money to buy the rights to Ann Beattie's critically lauded 1976 novel after most major film studios passed on it, then produced the movie even though they'd only had Hollywood experience as actors. When Joan Micklin Silver heard they'd acquired the rights, she volunteered to write and direct because she'd been a huge fan of the book.
  • Executive Meddling: United Artists thought that no one would want to see a film called Chilly Scenes of Winter and changed the title to Head Over Heels, implying it was more of a straight romance than it really was. When it was re-released, Joan Micklin Silver insisted they restore the original title.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: Has never been released on VHS or DVD, leaving TV, streaming and Youtube as the only ways to see it outside a theater.
