 When informed that the Motion Picture Editors Guild required an editor credit, he suggested Donn Cambern who had been editing another film, "Drive, He Said" (1971) in the next office and had helped Bogdanovich, with some purchasing paperwork concerning the film's opticals.Cambern disputes this, stating that Bogdanovich did do an edit of the film, which he screened for a selection of guests, including Jack Nicholson, Bob Rafelson and himself.The consensus was the film was going to be great, but needed further editing to achieve its full potential.
