What's left behind the scenes
- The first film released in the US on VHS for home viewing.
- One day off from filming, Walter Matthau and Michael Crawford wandered to the racetrack, where a horse named Hello Dolly was running. Matthau refused to bet on it, stating that the horse reminded him of Barbra Streisand, whom he had a very difficult time with. Crawford bet on Hello Dolly, and it came in first. After that incident, Matthau minimized his communication with Crawford to an absolute minimum.
- The relationship between Walter Matthau and Barbra Streisand was so strained that the actor flatly refused to kiss her during the filming of the final scene kiss. A more or less convincing impression of a kiss was achieved after several takes, which were shot from different angles and at a distance so that the audience wouldn't see that the actors' lips weren't touching.
- 20th Century Fox acknowledged the rightness of theatrical producer David Merrick (1911-2000), who stated that the film could not be released until the same stage production was no longer running in Broadway theaters, and included a corresponding clause in the contract. By the time filming began, the production had been running on Broadway for four years, so everyone assumed it would no longer be in theaters by the time filming was completed. Merrick then replaced all the actors with Black performers, led by actress and singer Pearl Bailey (1918-1990), and the production once again drew large audiences. Thus, the edited and finished film sat on the shelf for a year and was only released when the film studio paid Merrick a substantial sum. This increased the budget, and the film became an even bigger box office disappointment. And the stage production ran for 7 years, being removed from the repertoire long after the film's release.
