Trivia:

The original cut delivered to United Artists was longer, featuring Kim Hunter in the role of Jennifer's mother. This cut was ruled too arty (i.e. disastrous in the eyes of studio barons) so the film was re-cut to 90 minutes. Kim Hunter's role was completely cut.

Quotes:

Mardigian: [a taxi driver's confession to a customer] Hey, man, I'm pretty stoned. Do you wanna screw my sister or somethin'?

Pretty bad, yet a curio.

Yet another of the myriad early 1970s films about drugs.

The movie itself is pretty bad, but remains a curio due to its elusive nature (never released on video in the U.S.) and for the presence of Robert De Niro, in the small, prophetic role as the "gypsy cab driver".
