Facts about
The "box" shown in several scenes in the film was inspired by a large square booth that was built for The Monkees during the filming of their TV show. Between takes, they grew bored and wandered around the studio, often getting lost, so studio brass had a large "room" built for them in one of the sound stages. According to one of the Monkees, they would spend time there studying their scripts, composing and playing music, and smoking (which they were forbidden to do on the set). Colored lights were added to the room to page whoever was needed on the set.
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.
