Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEven though the US release was cut by around eighteen minutes apparently none of these edits resulted in the removal of any nudity. The US home video version utilized the uncut 117 minute version which had debuted in Britain.
- GoofsSitting at piano, Boy Wonder plays song Moonglow, written in 1934. The movie takes place at least three or four years earlier (characters repeatedly talk about a then-unknown actor named Clark Gable, already a big star by time song was written).
NOTE: "Moonglow" is not explicitly referenced as such, and is virtually identical to 1929's "Sweeter Than Sweet", so this may not be a goof.
- Quotes
Rex, the Wonder Dog: [referring to breasts] Stick the Hershey kisses back in the wrapper, will ya, sweetheart.
- Crazy creditsThe end credits are shown in black-and-white, against a backdrop of a silk cloth. It is also grainier and scratched in spots compared to the rest of the film. It is very reminiscent of the credits of vintage 30's melodramas.
- Alternate versionsAlthough the print submitted was the longer version the original UK cinema release was cut by the BBFC to edit the pre-credits sequence and some footage from the sex scene between Harlene and Rex. The 1987 Warner video was uncut.

Featured review
"Off color, Risky, Edgy, Masterpiece. Bound to be a Classic"
I am please others have found this little unknown film, to be the treasure it is....I thought I was the only one who likes this film.
True story I hear. So there I am at the salad bar at the Hollywood Sizzler, and who is next to me, but Richard Dreyfuss, hiding under a baseball cap.
I had to write him a note, before this rare opportunity slipped away. "Dear Mr. Dreyfuss, your performance in "Inserts" was worth an Oscar. You were brilliant. The whole cast was perfect. I loved the "Cuban Gothic" house. Thank you for taking such a professional risk. Bravo." Signed: An Admirer Paid a waitress $5 to take it over to him. He was with his wife and kids, with his back to the room. I then slipped out after he opened the folded note and read my words. Read what others who love film have written about this underground classic yet to be discovered? The whole cast went on to become big movie stars after making this little masterpiece. Bravo to the writer, cast and crew.
