"When I first saw this film, Al Pacino was an unknown actor, yet to play in the Godfather. I usually just enjoy the movie, but I was surprised by how fine an actor the star was. I wondered why I had never seen this guy before. Pacino has made many fine films, but this one is actually one of his best..and very few people have ever heard of it. It used to be available on VHS, but has been out of print now for about twenty years. I was finally able to get a very expensive used copy from an internet vendor specializing in hard to get film. I just hope that this comes out in DVD...."

After the film screened at the Cannes Film Festival, Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, asked director Jerry Schatzberg if he was into the hard stuff. When Schatzberg told him he wasn't, Richards asked how he could have made a film about it. Schatzberg told Richards that he could probably make a film about a woman having a baby, but, he couldn't do that either.
