    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Elaine May shot 1,400,000 feet of film for the production. A two-hour feature is just under 11,000 feet. This was nearly three times the amount of film that was shot for Gone with the Wind (1939).
    • Goofs
      In the hotel room when Nicky is on the bed moving, a crew member can be seen reflected in the mirror in a crouching position.
    • Quotes
      • Mikey: [they have just climbed over the wall of a cemetery] I'm exhausted really, Nick. This is foolish. Nick, please. It's just foolish.
      • Nicky: Foolish?
      • Mikey: Frankly, I think it's ridiculous.
      • Nicky: You didn't like my mother?
      • Mikey: I loved your mother. I thought she was a wonderful woman.
      • Nicky: Why is it ridiculous to visit her grave?
      • Mikey: Because it's one o'clock in the morning.
      • Nicky: That makes it nicer.
      • Mikey: It doesn't make it anything, Nick. A grave is a grave. There's not a religion in the world that says a person's soul is buried with them in their grave. It's not your mother in there.
      • Nicky: You don't believe in any of that stuff?
      • Mikey: No.
      • Nicky: You don't believe there's anything after you die?
      • Mikey: Er, me personally, no. I believe you die and that's it.
      • Nicky: That doesn't scare you? To think that one day'll you die. You'll be over. You won't be anything, you won't know anything. Be nothing.
      • Mikey: Look, Nick, if you wanna visit your mother, let's visit your mother because this conversation is stupid.
      • Nicky: It isn't stupid. It's interesting - if you're gonna die.
      • Mikey: Well, I'm not gonna die so I think it's stupid.
      • Nicky: Yeah, well you are some day.
      • Mikey: Look, Nick...
      • Nicky: You're gonna die some day.
      • Mikey: I'm not gonna stand here at one o'clock in the morning and discuss what's gonna happen to me when I die. I mean, that mishegoss I leave to the Catholics.
      • [he walks off]
      • Nicky: Aren't you gonna die some day? Aren't you gonna die some day? Aren't you gonna die some day? I just wanna know, are you gonna die some day?
