Overview

"...I was playing it at the Cinematheque, and it got a lot of word of mouth in town. Everybody liked it because we used this really neat trick to put these images on Pat Barrington’s body as she was doing a belly dance. It was just perfect, and it was an the height of the LSD period and all the hippies loved it." - Ed DePriest
