** It's been [[http://cheezburger.com/3798325760 noted]] by [[https://twitter.com/richardaugustus/status/522489598170370048 some]] that young Creator/KeirDullea looks a lot like Creator/JimParsons. At times David is reminiscent of [[Series/TheBigBangTheory Sheldon Cooper]], particularly his OCD and his [[InsufferableGenius supercilious nature]].
** Dullea went on to play [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey another David]].
** David's idea for the radio-controlled timepiece he describes to Dr. Swinford more-or-less jibes with how the Apple Watch functions.

Super OCD is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.

** Several later-familiar faces pop up here. Keir Dullea of course went on to be in ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''. Janet Margolin had a prolific career in film and TV, including playing Woody Allen's wife on two separate occasions (''Film/TakeTheMoneyAndRun'', ''Film/AnnieHall''). Clifton James (Lisa's therapist John) is better-known now as [[Film/JamesBond Sheriff J.W. Pepper]], and Karen Lynn Gorney (Josette, one of the other patients) played Stephanie in ''Film/SaturdayNightFever''.

* FreudWasRight: The film's suggestion that David's issues are caused by his domineering mother reflects a popular line of psychiatric thinking at the time that's now considered very outdated. Also there's the implication that Lisa has a deep longing for a normal family life.

** In a HeyItsThatPlace situation, the film's climax happens on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the same steps [[{{Film/Rocky}} Rocky Balboa]] climbed a decade-and-a-half later.
* ToughActToFollow:
** Dullea and Margolin were both so good in their roles they fell victim to TypeCasting. In the wake of the film they both got sick of getting offered "disturbed young person" roles.
** While their future films gained varying levels of acclaim, Frank and Eleanor Perry never really topped this film in the eyes of critics.
