...first Andy Warhol factory film to be distributed commercially nationwide, is the story of a heroin addict (Joe Dallesandro) who is constantly on the verge of O. D.-ing. Perhaps this does not seem humorous in itself, but, for good measure, there is a running gag about Joe's smack-induced impotency.

Their hand-lettered signs read "We Love Women: In the Kitchen and in the Bed" and "End Toilet Facility Discrimination Now." Be a mother. "Why?" I shout at one and he shrugs.
