According to The Washington Post, screenwriter and producer James Schamus told reporters at the Cannes Film Festival that the biggest challenge in casting extras for the film was to find people "who were not working out all the time, and who still had pubic hair."
Movie Goof (anachronisms): In at least a couple of scenes with Elliott walking around the side of the hotel, you can clearly see a NID or Telephone Network Box. Almost everyone has them on the side of their houses now, but these weren't in use until many years later.
Movie Goof (factual errors): Arlo Guthrie was heard singing "Coming Into Los Angeles" in daylight. When the 1969 Woodstock concert first took place, Arlo came on stage at midnight right after Melanie.
Movie Goof (factual errors): When they are going to the concert we hear Melanie singing "Beautiful People" and it is daylight. Melanie actually performed at 11:00 PM when it was dark.
