Brazilian composer Eumir Deodato (famous for his 2001-Also Sprach Zarathustra heard in the movie Oltre il giardino (1979)) lived in New York City by the time this movie opened, and was informed by friends that a piece of music he composed could be heard on the movie's soundtrack. He initially dismissed the warning, as he believed they were mistakenly identifying Tubular Bells (also part of the movie's soundtrack) as a composition of his own. Eventually, to clear this matter, his lawyer attended the movie with a concealed tape recorder. He recorded the whole movie, and played it back to Eumir over the phone, who finally recognized a composition of his own: "Carly and Carole", heard briefly at the party scene. Eumir's lawyer arranged a meeting with the legal team at Warner Bros. and asked for the movie to be pulled from circulation. A compromise was eventually arranged after an undisclosed sum was paid.
