This low-budget, slightly experimental film won some admirers when it was released but was largely ignored. But after Coppola's later fame it gained a cult following, reappraised as an early attempt to deal with feminist themes in film. It also marked the beginning of Coppola's friendship with Creator/GeorgeLucas, who worked as an assistant on the film and directed the making-off film, (one of his early credits) ''Filmmaker'', a short documentary showing behind-the-scenes footage as well as bits of Coppola's life (it also features a scene of Francis without his beard, if you can believe that).
