** Definitely a must-see if you want to know what life was like in Pittsburgh at the start of TheSeventies.
** An example of a film having a major plot point fall under this trope. Abortion being illegal is a big part of what happens in the third act. Two years later, ''Roe v. Wade'' rendered this film dated practically overnight.

* TroubledProduction: This began as a short film made by Rudy Ricci, who'd helped out with ''[[Film/NightOfTheLivingDead1968 Night of the Living Dead]]''. Romero was impressed and urged Ricci to turn it into a full-length screenplay. Romero and his partners weren't too thrilled with the final screenplay but were already committed to filming it. Ricci and Romero clashed and Ricci basically quit midway through production. Add that the usual strains from having NoBudget and the shoot proved stressful for all involved.
