Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOriginally the film was to be shot on Columbia University's campus. However, Columbia withdrew their offer and the crew moved to Berkeley instead (Columbia University had already been through large student protests in 1967 and '68). The book had not gained notoriety yet and Berkeley was more or less in the dark about the content of the film and what events the director would be staging on the campus. This explains the tongue-in-cheek statement that appears before the opening credits thanking an "anonymous locale" and noting "other cities refused to cooperate."
- GoofsCoxswains don't say "stroke." The stroke of the boat (the rower in front of the coxswain) is responsible for maintaining the stroke rate.
- Quotes
Girl in Filing Room: [after exposing her breasts to Simon] Did you know Lenin loved women with big breasts?
- Crazy creditsThe following written statement appears on screen before the opening credits sequence: "The producers of this film gratefully acknowledge the cooperation of the people of San Francisco and another anonymous locale for participating in the production of this motion picture. Other cities refused to cooperate--perhaps feeling that strawberries are irrelevant."
- Alternate versionsThis movie has 2 cuts. A Theatrical release with 103 minutes and the International version that runs 109 minutes. Both version where included on the 2012 Warner DVD.
Featured review
Great celebration and memory of the revolutionary feelings of the late 60's
I've grown older, I've grown sedated - this was the first time in I don't remember how long that a movie really made me FEEL so much. The music, the camera-work, the speeches, the feeling of just wanting to c h a n g e so much! I got completely wrapped up in it, especially, like someone else wrote, since the state of the world is at it is today; it makes this movie feel more accurate than ever! Why, oh why, aren't there revolutionaries like these on the streets and in the universities of today? One thing though. The movie very accurately portrays women of this time and this movement, and by that I mean they are portrayed either as sexual objects, passive jewelry for the revolutionaries (men) to lean on in their "headquarter" (in this case the dean's office)or as frail and beautiful little birds the men have to care for. It is true that this is how women of the movement were treated - as someone who could make coffee whilst the men drew up revolutionary plans of how to overthrow the government - that is until women fought back and started their own revolution. I just wish that when revolution comes next time, there will be no sexism in its lines...
