G. and R.C. wander in and out of the house and occasionally torture her sister-in-law with mean comments about her weight and absent husband. L.T. delights in this and does nothing to prevent it. I’d never wear it. I’d go into a panic if I ever had to wash it. So it lives on a shelf. But that Warhol shirt is just perfect. Perfect, perfect, perfect. I think things have a personal value when you get them in real time. I have a Siouxsie and the Banshees T-shirt that I bought in 1982, when I was in high school in the States. It’s a beauty. Yet there’s something else about a shirt that represents something you didn’t do in real time, something you wish you could have done if you were a little bit older, a little bit cooler, a little bit more fortunate geography-wise. Perry King later recalled "we actually all worked very hard on that film. Both Carroll Baker and I worked very hard especially... I think it was their attempt at a mainstream film... It was cast like it was a Hollywood film." [5]

King said Warhol "makes no effort to communicate his concept of the film, but it's a strong concept. You begin to feel it. There is a short hand among these people. There is a very special Warhol world view here and it's hard to define. But it will lose its edge in the professional technique." [6] King says he and Baker struggled until halfway through the shoot. "We couldn't count on help from [director] Jed Johnson because he was just a kid and he didn't really know what he was doing", he said. [5] They asked Susan Tyrell for help and she said they made a mistake reading the script. King says, "It sounded insane to me, but you know, she was absolutely right. If you're working on a Andy Warhol film you can't approach it like it's a conventional film with a beginning, middle and a end. You had to forget about the character arc... this was an Andy Warhol movie. You had to give yourself over completely to that world. You had to embrace that world and one of the things you did was to improvise everything. They didn't want to do anything conventionally." [5] a b Lee, Grant. (June 23, 1976).

Warhol himself was a fan of a fashion show, going to see runway happenings by the likes of Halston and Saint Laurent. Colacello recalls that the artist would turn to him and say the same thing each time: “Gee, Bob, we should make this into a play.” He laughs. “Warhol came out of the world of fashion, and he never really left it.” If you paid with a debit or credit card please be advised that this can take 3-5 working days to show on your account.

King says he was cast without auditioning. He had just been in Mandingo (1975) which he says "was a big deal because it was kind of trashy. And trashy, to the Andy Warhol universe, was what they liked. Trash was big art to them." [5] The lead role was meant to be played by Vivian Vance but she dropped out and was replaced by Carroll Baker. It was Baker's first film in the US in eight years. [5] Baker had been making movies in Europe where she usually had to take her clothes off. "I'm looking to get away from that", she said. "People don't realize you're acting. They just see you're sexy and they won't take you seriously." [7]
