 Director Frank Pierson was so angered by his experience working with  Streisand on this film that he wrote a first person account,  published in both New York and New West magazines, detailing what a  horrible experience it had been. Pierson portrayed his star as  egocentric, manipulative and controlling. The article was published  just prior to the films release in December 1976 and Streisand and  Pierson have never worked together again.
