[A record of sorts, it was thefirstUS feature film to show a bathroom with a toilet bowl.]With a novice actor (James Murray) in the lead role, he film was simply a realistic, bittersweet drama of the existence of an ordinary common and average American (an Everyman prototype embodied in a white-collar worker) trying to make it with his wife in the monolithic big city - but without any maudlin sentimentality, extreme passion, exploitation of romance, or escapist melodrama.In a brief epilogue at Imhoteps nightclub (now managed by Mad Dog Maguire), romantic couple Alex and Lin danced and kissed during a slow dance.He believed there was an opportunity at Presbyterian Church to bring more prostitutes (he called them "chippies") to the market.The entire tracking shot covers four blocks from start to finish.In a close-up, hands set an explosive, timed device.A shadowy figure runs and places it in the trunk of a parked convertible.The pounding of bongo drums and blare of brass instruments are heard (Henry Mancini""s score), accompanied by the ticking-tocking of the mechanism on the soundtrack.
