Trivia:

Ralph Bakshi wrote the screenplay before he became famous with the intention to produce it as his first feature film. It was originally titled "When I Catch Her I'll Kill Her." The studio Bakshi approached found the material to be "too hot." According to Bakshi, "A story about women cheating on their husband was too far out at that time for some reason." Years later, Bakshi handed in the same script, with a few changes, and it was approved by the studio that eventually produced the film.

Quotes:

Michael: What are you doing?
Lorraine: I'm going to New York to open a whorehouse, Michael.
Michael: Look, Lorraine, I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said before.
Lorraine: I know you didn't, Michael. But I'm going to New York with Jack. It got too stuffy here.
Michael: I don't get it, Lorraine.
Lorraine: You really want to know?
Michael: Yeah.
Lorraine: You've got these rules, Michael... but whose rules are they? Whose dream are you buying into? You've been angry for so long you don't even know it. We're all scared... but somehow we don't believe that babies, TV sets, two-car garages and McCarthy are going to make us happy...

Idiotic and the Horrible

Tramps, Losers, & Lowlife Thugs not to mention kids having babies. Oh my God, this movie was soooo bad. I have this self-imposed rule that i try my hardest to watch every movie that i start through to the end. This one came painfully close to breaking that rule. All i wanted was for it to end so I could get on with my life. Millions of starving children in the world and money goes into making this?!? There was absolutely nothing at all worthwhile about this picture. People involved in its production should be ashamed.
