Anecdotes
In the pre-Broadway run, song "Dance 10, Looks 3" was listed as "Tits and Ass", but it was changed when the production reached Broadway, the logic being if it were a surprise during the show, it would get a better audience reaction.

Gaffes
In the final dance scene at the end of the audition sequence, clearly visible are dancers who have been shown to be rejected.

This scene isn't intended to be in continuity but is more like a curtain call (as it was in the Broadway musical).

Citations
Zach: Tell me about the Bronx.
Diana: What's to tell about the Bronx? It's uptown and to the right.
Zach: What made you start dancing?
Diana: Who knows? I'm Puerto Rican. We jump around a lot.

Versions alternatives
The international print of the movie has a different opening credits sequence. All the titles appear with scenes around Manhattan, which opens the film, and then we see the shot of the theater as the dancers are lined up and walking in the theater; there is also no sound of Larry directing the dancers until the first shot inside the theater.

Stage to screen unsuccessful

Having seen, studied, read, and researched ACL and Michael Bennett, I have to say that the show does not translate well to the screen. The movie is 'good' at best, but completely loses much of what made ACL so successful on Broadway. The constant swipes to Cassie (taking a cab into the city; talking with Larry; etc) were completely unnecessary, and many of the great songs and monologues were shortened or (worse) cut altogether! Whereas I like Michael Douglas, I feel that he was a poor choice for Zach. Michael Douglas should not have been cast as Zach for the exact same reason Kevin Kline was not cast as Zach in the original production: he couldn't dance.

I often wonder if Michael Bennett would have approved of this film.
