흥미로운 사실

Serial is a 1980 American comedy film directed by Bill Persky. The screenplay, by Rich Eustis and Michael Elias, is drawn from the novel The Serial by Cyra McFadden, published in 1977.

Production

Filmmaker Gary Weis was originally hired to helm the production, but was replaced by Bill Persky in May 1979 due to "creative differences." Principal photography on the project began in May 1979, and wrapped up in September 1979. A 34 day time-frame was the initial shooting schedule for the film. Filming locations included Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The movie was Martin Mull's first feature film where he played the lead character. Mull mused that he must have been hired "as an oversight on the part of Paramount Pictures":I think someone must have whispered the words 'tax shelter' to them. No, seriously, after reading the script, I wanted it real bad, but at that point I think they were after a big gun, a big name: Bill Bixby. Seriously, Redford or someone like that.
