Trivia
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.

Quotes
[last lines]
Ondine - Pope: By the way, "The Bride Of Frankenstein" is the greatest movie ever made. It's just fabulous... Isn't it?

Alternate versions
Two segments listed in the original program for The Chelsea Girls were deleted from the film: 'The Afternoon' and 'The Closet'. 'The Afternoon' starred Edie Sedgwick who, according to Paul Morrissey, asked for her footage to be taken out of the movie because she had signed a contract with Bob Dylan's manager, Albert Grossman. 'The Closet' starring Nico and Randy Borscheidt is now a separate film.

This film should be commercially released!

In "arts and entertainment", films are usually viewed as being part of the entertainment side. Warhol moves them over to the arts side. This film, like others of Warhol's is "not watched, it's experienced". I think it's brilliant. But I wouldn't get nearly as much pleasure out of watching it if I didn't know who the stars were. So, I suggest you certainly read about the film and Warhol, before you watch this.
