Both John Ritter and Chris Mishim considered the role of Sony.
All movie musicis background musicradio, jukeboxes, or a portable tape recorder at a swimming party.
Except for one lens, all are.
The last movie to be screened was "Red River".
Alan Post was supposed to consider the role of Gina Weave, but after meeting with Bergdonovich and seeing the roles of all three old women, he suggested that she play Luce Boop. However, Post prefers the role of Lois. Bergdonovich asked her to go home first, figure out which role she wanted, and call him the next day. She complied, saying that she still wanted to play Lois, so he agreed.
The film was all shot in Accher, Texas. Actors even have the opportunity to meet their prototype characters.
Klauris Leechman's scene in the last scene of the film was shot at once without any rehearsal. She wanted to rehearse, but director Peter Bergdonovich thought that doing so would ruin the set.
Almost all the editing work at the end of the film was done by Peter Bergdonovich alone, but because Don Campbell did some trivial things in it, so they put his name on the editor's list.
