Anecdotes
The fight between Norman Mailer and Rip Torn was real. Torn was outraged with Mailer's direction and attacked Mailer with a hammer. Mailer bit Torn's ear during the fight and the blood shed by both is real.

Citations
Rip Torn: [as he tries to hit Norman Mailer with a hammer] You're supposed to die. Norman T. Kingsley, you must die, not Mailer, not Mailer. I don't want to kill Mailer but I must kill Kingsley, in the picture.

Once seen never forgotten...and in a good way

I first saw this at the London Film Festival (I think it was called that) at the Roundhouse with a pre-screening interview with a fairly sozzled Mailer, and a packed house of mainly hippies/freaks/students/literary folk. The general opinion was WTF was that ??? I think I've seen it since - late night on BBC2 I'd guess. But this really ought to be re-shown - because as I remember it, confessedly dimly, Mailer played a Trump-like egomaniac media star (film director in those days) so it definitely foretold the chaos we would be in (and not in a good way!). Someone, please smarten this film up and re-release it - my guess would be that today's audience reaction might be along the lines of, Mailer warned us but we didn't believe it!
