* StarDerailingRole: Creator/RaquelWelch was a major sex symbol of TheSixties, when she played the title character of this film in an ill-fated attempt at displaying her acting prowess. Its failure severely damaged her career instead and led to her struggles during TheSeventies. The failure of ''Film/MotherJugsAndSpeed'' near the tail end of the decade, in addition to many other flops, reduced her to MadeForTVMovie territory for nearly two decades.



* {{Typecasting}}: Creator/MaeWest was known for playing characters that seemed to speak only in double entendres. Her character in this, Leticia Van Allen, was no different.

* ReCut: A scene implying that Myron is masturbating to Creator/FarrahFawcett [[https://web.archive.org/web/20080516131811/http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/Myra_Breckinridge_1970.aspx?Page=5 originally ended in]] a clip of Creator/ShirleyTemple milking a cow. One lawsuit coming from the ''White House'' (she was now serving as a U.S. ambassador) later, it was changed - the VHS is nonsensical with an old war movie, while the DVD keeps the [[SomethingElseAlsoRises visual innuendo]] by having Oliver Hardy splashed by champagne.

** Michael Sarne complained to the film's producers that Creator/RexReed was being "faggy, prissy and unpleasant" on the set. He repeatedly insulted and belittled the cast, in particular calling Welch "old raccoon" and constantly telling her to her face that she was so ugly he could barely stand to look at her. He also called Creator/JohnHuston a "decrepit old hack" among other things, and slammed his entire career in a magazine interview conducted during filming. He also encouraged bickering among his cast members.
