Anecdotes
The film takes its title from the lyrics of the song "Pleasant Street," written and performed by Tim Buckley. A selected part of the lyrics: "You don't remember what to say / You don't remember what to do / You don't remember where to go / You don't remember what to choose / You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down / All the stony people / Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes / I can't hesitate / And I can't wait / For Pleasant Street"

Citations
Hollywood Party Guests: We were gonna cast Lee Marvin, the new great American star. But we couldn't get him so I want to my assistant and said, "Do what you think is right but cast this thing!" Two days later, he calls me back and says, "I've got someone." And I say, "Sensational. Who?"... and he says "Julie Newmar."

Générique farfelu
The opening credits are contained in the movie-within-the-movie when the party-goers are summoned to the theater room of the swanky house. While they roll, two audience members discuss various items of business and an unruly doctor.

Totally Groovy

While not Lost New Hollywood masterpiece (like, say, Charles Eastman's "The All-American Boy" or Floyd Mutrux's "Dusty and Sweets McGee"), this is one groovy movie. Shot in L.A. during the year (1969) of the Manson murders, it's a glorious distillation of the era: maybe the best of its kind next to Jaques Demy's "The Model Shop," Speaking of Mutrux, I hadn't realized that he wrote the screenplay and co-produced the film. Double bow. And I had no idea Jean Renoir plays himself in a lovely extended cameo. It's an even better "Famous Foreign Director Cameos In a New Hollywood Movie" cameo than Federico Fellini's appearance in Paul Mazursky's "Alex in Wonderland." Definitely one for the time capsule.
