Facts about Head:

This film intersperses film clips featuring John Brockman (who engineered this film's promotional campaign) and The Rockettes, and scenes from the following movies: Gilda, Golden Boy, Jam Session, Salome, and The Black Cat.
The Coca-Cola company reportedly wasn't amused at the Monkees' take on then-current Coke commercials (desert wanderer Micky faces off against an uncooperative soda machine, as a jingle plays), and tried to get an injunction against the movie. When the movie reappeared on cable and home video in 1986, Columbia Pictures was owned by Coca-Cola, and the issue apparently forgotten.
Had its television broadcast premiere on "The CBS Late Movie" (1972) Monday, December 30, 1974 (Michael Nesmith's 32nd birthday, and Davy Jones' 29th), at 11:30pm (EST), airing opposite "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" (1962) on NBC and The Gator Bowl (Texas Longhorns versus Auburn Tigers) on ABC. CBS repeated the film on Monday, July 7, 1975, also @ 11:30 PM (EDT), against "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" (1962) on NBC, and "Wide World Mystery" (1973) on ABC.
