    • Trivia
      The film as delivered by Elaine May was drastically re-cut and shortened ("butchered", according to some) by Paramount before its release. Sadly, neither the director's cut of the film nor the original shooting script has ever been made publicly available.

    Great fun
    My room mate and I love this film. We're always quoting lines from it.

    "There's carbon on the valves!"

    "I've achieved a sort of immortality. As a footnote and under G."

    "Henrietta, you have your head in the arm hole!"

    I respect Ms. May so much I feel a little guilty enjoying the film she disowned. I hope one day she will, if possible, do a "Touch Of Evil" style re-editing of the film, so that we can enjoy it as she originally intended. I guess you could say that this is my hope and my dream, which is to say that my hope and my dream are the same (my dream.)
