Aku ndelok film iki ing teater sing pertama, ning mung ndelok ping pindho. Dustin Hoffman kuwi ora éntuk kebutuhan TV. Dustin Hoffman kuwi sterlar dadi komentar sosial/satiristi/observationalist/blue basa komik Lenny Bruce. Ia dinominsi kanggo sing paling apik kanggo teater 1974 Academy Award, ning nganti kehilangan to Art Carney for Harry and Tonto. Veteran aktor Albert Finney malah dinominasi tahun kuwi, nanging Carney won on sentiment and Hoffman kehilangan wektu Jack Nicholson kanggo Chinatown and Alcino para Allah splied to Carney's will to the Carney stuff of the Carrion's Carrion's Carrion's Without Hoffy will figure of the Hoffy Without Hoffren's Wit Hoffler.
