Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOriginally the film was to be shot on Columbia University's campus. However, Columbia withdrew their offer and the crew moved to Berkeley instead (Columbia University had already been through large student protests in 1967 and '68). The book had not gained notoriety yet and Berkeley was more or less in the dark about the content of the film and what events the director would be staging on the campus. This explains the tongue-in-cheek statement that appears before the opening credits thanking an "anonymous locale" and noting "other cities refused to cooperate."
- GoofsCoxswains don't say "stroke." The stroke of the boat (the rower in front of the coxswain) is responsible for maintaining the stroke rate.
- Quotes
Girl in Filing Room: [after exposing her breasts to Simon] Did you know Lenin loved women with big breasts?
- Crazy creditsThe following written statement appears on screen before the opening credits sequence: "The producers of this film gratefully acknowledge the cooperation of the people of San Francisco and another anonymous locale for participating in the production of this motion picture. Other cities refused to cooperate--perhaps feeling that strawberries are irrelevant."
- Alternate versionsThis movie has 2 cuts. A Theatrical release with 103 minutes and the International version that runs 109 minutes. Both version where included on the 2012 Warner DVD.
Featured review
Great soundtrack with good Davison
The film is a bit underrated with good young cast and wonderful soundtrack. Kim Darby (what ever happened to her?), Bruce Davison (after Last Summer), Bud Cort (right after M.A.S.H. and before Brewster McCloud; just before), and Bob Balaban (between Midnight Cowbody and Catch-22) are all perfectly cast, but I'm surprised the script by Israel Horovitz seemed shallow at times.
This came out the same year as Getting Straight with Elliott Gould, but didn't seem to do any business. The ending is quite powerfully effective, but too many dead spots to get there. Certainly worth checking out for student protest films at the time.
