Facts about

Five years after its premiere, the movie was shown in a 1973 Raybert retrospective, along with Five Easy Pieces and Easy Rider, and finally gained a positive response from fans and critics.
When it was finally edited together into a cohesive whole, it ran 10 minutes short of an unprecedented 2 hours! A poor audience response at an August 1968 screening in Los Angeles eventually forced the producers to edit the picture down to 86 minutes.
