although the movie take place at an ivy league college and it be in fact shot entirely in northern arizona and mostly at northern arizona university in flagstaff in the fall of 1976. i be involve in the theater department there and and most of the extra in the film be then member of the theater department . there be an absolutely ludicrous scene in this film ( if you know your arizona geography ) that show several cast member rid bike from the college to a creek . we nauers know that the campus and say creek ( actually oak creek canyon ) be about 35 mile apart and and while the trip there be all downhill and it would be literally impossible to ride a bike back up that same road .
