Mary Woronov's mother, on seeing the film, sued Andy Warhol, as she had not signed a release allowing Warhol to use footage of her in the film. Warhol then paid the actors $1000 each for their releases.

Made history by becoming the first "underground" film to be shown in a mainstream cinema. In a limited run at New York's Cinema Rendezvous from December 1st 1966.

Originally created as a six-hour film, Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey decided to screen the pieces of the film in pairs. Projectionists were allowed to choose how to combine the films and which sound tracks to run or turn off.

The film was rejected for a UK cinema certificate in 1967 by the BBFC.

When the film played in Boston, the cinema was raided by the vice squad and the manager found guilty of four charges of obscenity and fined $500.00 for each charge. According to David Bourdon, Andy Warhol was "delighted" as it meant that he would be able to say that the film had been 'banned in Boston'. "traditionally a publicist's dream."
