Jim Henson provides most of the vocalizations (coughs, hiccups, etc), as well as the only spoken lines: four times, he says "Help!".
Although this experimental film was made before Jim Henson committed his career to The Muppets (and related animatronic/puppet characters), it features the talents of two collaborators who would stay with Henson for the next 25+ years: Jerry Juhl, who plays the bartender, would go on to write or co-write most of the Muppet TV shows and films; and muppeteer Frank Oz (an early credit using his real surname of Oznowicz), who plays the messenger boy.
This film features a "beat" (a scene cut, foot step, spoken word, etc.) on every second for most of the film.
One of Jim Henson's daughters portrayed the toddler seen running around during the stripper montage.
Features a rare live-action performance by Jim Henson. Although Henson occasionally gave interviews, he almost never appeared onscreen in his own later work, preferring to work though puppets and/or behind the camera.
