* AmericansHateTingle: Unsurprisingly given its grossly inaccurate and unflattering portrayal of their country, the Swedes have very little love for this film. The film was never given a theatrical release there, and when it was finally shown on television in 1971, it attracted a flurry of complaints. Not helping matters was the fact that director Luigi Scattini had promised the Swedish re-enactors that the film would never be shown in their country, so once the re-enactors finally got the chance to see the completed film, they were outraged by how the filmmakers had assembled and edited the footage in order to push a false and salacious narrative.

* ValuesDissonance: The film as a whole takes a ''very'' 1960s attitude towards sexuality and drug use. Perhaps the most blatant and cringe-worthy example occurs during the lesbian nightclub vignette, with the narration actively espousing the now-discredited notion that women only become lesbians because they've been raped or otherwise actively turned off by men, whom they should naturally desire.
