The film crew was mostly Australian, much to the delight of fellow Aussie Olivia Newton-John. Both Vegemite (a popular Australian spread), as well as newspapers from the country, were frequently available on the set.
Movie is similar to the 1987 rom com Mannequin.
In response to high ratings, a TV series was proposed but never green-lighted.
The entire film was shot in one month, premiering on TV two months later.
