In August 1981, a year after Stratten's death, her final film, the romantic comedy ''They All Laughed'', which was written and directed by Bogdanovich, had its U.S. release.{{sfn|Yule|1992|p=170}} After a disappointing limited run in a handful of theaters in the southwest, the upper midwest, and the northeast, the picture was quietly withdrawn.<ref name="afi">

Upset that what would be his only project with Stratten did not have a nationwide release, and determined that her last screen performance have a chance to be seen by a broader audience, Bogdanovich bought the theatrical rights to the picture. Out of his own pocket, he paid for a re-release of ''They All Laughed'' in nearly a dozen large markets across North America beginning in late 1981 and rolling into the following year. Despite generally favorable reviews and strong attendance in some theaters, Bogdanovich ultimately sank more than five million dollars, his entire net worth at the time, into the project to properly promote and distribute the movie and rescue Stratten's film legacy.{{sfn|Yule|1992|pp=171, 176-8}}

Bogdanovich declared bankruptcy in 1985. In the process, he lost his Los Angeles home where Stratten had lived for the last few weeks of her life.<ref name="latimes bankruptcy">{{cite news|title=Bogdanovich's Bankrupt Memorial|first=David|last=Crook|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=December 19, 1985|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1985-12-19-ca-30586-story.html|access-date=December 28, 2018}}</ref>

In the years since its inauspicious debut, ''They All Laughed'' has been recognized by filmmakers, critics, and others as being one of Bogdanovich's best pictures. ''One Day Since Yesterday'', a documentary about the making and cultural importance of Bogdanovich's romantic comedy, which includes interviews with the director and his remembrances of Stratten, premiered in 2014.<ref name="thr ODSY review">{{cite news|title='One Day Since Yesterday: Peter Bogdanovich & the Lost American Film': Venice Review|first=David|last=Rooney|work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|date=September 1, 2014|url= https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/one-day-yesterday-peter-bogdanovich-729385|access-date=May 28, 2019}}</ref>
