background
Like Flesh , the first part of the trilogy, the film from Andy Warhol's Factory is shot in the style of the independent films of the 1960s, but is a bit more professional in terms of editing and sound. As with Flesh , Joe Dallesandro was the main actor. With Geraldine Smith , another actress is represented from the first part of the trilogy. Transvestite Holly Woodlawn, actually Harold Danhakl, got the second lead role because she gave a scandalous interview in an underground newspaper in which he claimed to be friends with Warhol. Director Paul Morrissey gave him a small role in the film. Due to his acting performance, he then enlarged the role. The student Johnny seen in the film was his boyfriend at the time, but the two separated in 1970 after a loud argument. George Cukor launched an advertising campaign in 1970 to get Woodlawn an Oscar nomination for "best female lead actress," but failed.
The film was shot on location in New York. Filming began on 6th Street in October 1969. The then unknown actress Sissy Spacek made a small appearance, which was later cut out.
As with the previous film, there were problems in the UK with the British Board of Film Classification , which refused to approve the film. Several protests were unsuccessful, and on September 21, 1971, the Greater London Council also refused to give clearance. In November the film was shown at the London Film Festival and viewers were asked to vote for or against a release. Around 301 people were in favor of a release and only seven against. After some film critics interfered in the debate, the film finally received an X approval on November 17, 1972 (today Restricted 18 ). The film then had its official cinema premiere in the United Kingdom on February 8, 1973 in the London Pavilion .
The film premiered in Germany on February 19, 1971. The film premiered in Munich and became the most successful film of the year after Easy Rider .
Reviews
"The film pretends to be a portrait of total viciousness in an 'anti-taboo' manner, but since the environment and social background are completely absent, no critical or analytical aspect comes into play."
