    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      To achieve maximum realism, Director Ulu Grosbard insisted that Dustin Hoffman appear live at the now-shuttered rock palace Fillmore East. Cameras captured the reaction of the regular Friday night audience gathered for an actual Grateful Dead concert.
    • Goofs
      When Georgie runs through the streets after stealing a magazine, the magazine appears and reappears from his hands in between cut away shots that shows the guy chasing him.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Solomon F. Moses: Don't argue with me what's crazy. I know crazy. And you're crazy. I got now hanging around with me eight fellas who think they're reindeers. So I got no time for you fruitcake. Busy busy busy. Everyplace is craziness. So quick, what do you want for Christmas Charley?

      Georgie Soloway: I'd like a new life and a day without fear.

      Dr. Solomon F. Moses: Oh that's a shame. I got you a choo-choo train.

    • Alternate versions
      TV version removes almost all of the steel drum scenes and a brief scene with some semi-nudity (Dr. Moses' receptionist naked, seen above the waist).
    • Connections
      Referenced in The Partridge Family: Who Is Max Ledbetter and Why Is He Saying All Those Terrible Things? (1972)
    • Soundtracks
      Bunky and Lucille
      Music and Lyrics by Shel Silverstein

      Performed by Dr. Hook (as Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show)

    Best Part is Hoffmans Performance
    Potentially brilliant character study misses the mark as Hoffman plays a successful singer/songwriter who ends up badly tormented. Excessive smugness permeates a otherwise well crafted, well mounted production. Clearly the filmmakers thought they had a important "statement" picture. Unfortunately the statement becomes evasive and eventually muddled. Worth seeing just for Hoffman, who gives one of his best performances
