- Critic-Proof: The film received mixed to terrible reviews. Critics found the idea of Barbra Streisand playing a rock star to be ludicrous, for one thing. Still, it was the second highest-grossing film of 1976, and "Evergreen" won the Oscar for best song.
- Retroactive Recognition: Robert Englund is the aggressive bar patron who approaches John while he is watching Esther perform for the first time and spoils her act with a bar fight.
