* UncertainAudience: While Preminger was very in step with the youth of the day in the sociopolitical and counter-cultural senses, [[WereStillRelevantDammit he was painfully dated in terms of aesthetic instincts]]; thus, a movie celebrating the joys of LSD and free love... structured as an old-fashioned, stagey musical with a cast full of square, elderly comedians and performers, ensuring that it appealed to neither hippie teenagers nor conservative old fogeys.

* CriticalResearchFailure: LSD plays a role in the film's climax. Only Groucho Marx had any experience with the drug and he certainly wasn't what you'd call a hippie, nor was he involved at all in the sequence, so the effects of LSD are portrayed more like the effects of alcohol. And yet, they somehow managed to get Timothy Leary to appear in the trailer!

* HarsherInHindsight: God's complaints about getting old and wishing that he was young again seem a lot harsher when you find out that Groucho Marx spent the last five years of his life going in and out of hospitals and in constant pain.
