Goofs
Holzman shows a montage of TV he says he watched on a Tuesday night in July 1967. He was wrong about the night. Although it's hard to date the Huntley/Brinkley Report newscast or the Joey Bishop Show late-night talk show, neither Batman, Star Trek or the Dean Martin Show aired on a Tuesday night. In July 1967, Batman aired on Wednesday and Thursday nights and Star Trek and the Dean Martin Show aired on Thursday nights. The montage is from a Thursday night.

Quotes
David Holzman: It was like rooms everything is so perfect, that everything is so perfect that they have to be kept, that because this random particular accidental state so meaningful, so, so touching, it's so touching, it's so beautiful.

I first saw this film on public TV of all places, at about 2:30 am. Not knowing why(or anything about the film),I grabbed a blank tape and recorded it. What followed was a film that grabbed my attention from the opening shot of David with the camera to the end scene where the only thing left is some still shots and David's voice. Being that this is shot on a hand held,it gives it great atmostphere (especially the shots on the street and in Central Park). I recommend this to any future filmmaker and watch with awe.
