Trivia

The show at the Baths was attended by over 800 (extras) and included some of New Yorks then current elite. They were all paid $1.00 for their part and had to sign releases before they were admitted. Beyond the Fringe was playing at the time and the astute voyeur can see Dudley Moore and Peter Cook sipping a drink in the crowd.

User Reviews

1975 double bill - WOW!

I would LOVE to see this movie again. I saw it as a double bill with "Something for Everyone" with Michael York in 1975. It was incredible. I went home and shaved off my beard. The movie was entertaining and, beyond that, sincere and optimistic - like the spirit of the late 60's and early 70's. If I ever had the chance to see this film again, within about a 300 mile radius, I'd be there. It was transformative. It lives as a legend in my memory.
