45 200 Motels (1971)
- Filmed in the same studio as "2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)" (qv). The black
monolith from that film is visible.
- The role of Jeff was originally intended for Mothers bassist
'Jeff Simmons' (qv) who quit the group just prior to filming. Needing a
replacement, 'Frank Zappa' (qv) hired 'Wilfred Brambell' (qv). Within a few
days, Brambell walked off the set in a rage and Zappa had to replace him.
During a crew meeting, Zappa announced that he would give the part to the
next person who walked into the room. 'Martin Lickert' (qv), who was
'Ringo Starr' (qv)'s chauffuer, was thus cast in the role upon returning
from the limo with a pack of cigarettes for Starr.
