Trivia:

The film takes its title from the lyrics of the song "Pleasant Street," written and performed by Tim Buckley. A selected part of the lyrics: "You don't remember what to say / You don't remember what to do / You don't remember where to go / You don't remember what to choose / You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down / All the stony people / Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes / I can't hesitate / And I can't wait / For Pleasant Street"

Quotes:

Hollywood Party Guests: I'm looking for a girl with a kind of... midnight quality.
Cynthia: I'm afraid I'm not the type at all.
Hollywood Party Guests: But you have such a lovely figure. Did anyone ever try to put you on film?
Cynthia: I'm not interested in sleeping with you.
