Interview with Owen Land (2004)

"The film came about because Carmen Vigil recommended that I read Wit and its Relation to the Unconscious because he thought that what Freud was describing were things that occurred in some of my other films. So I started reading the book and I was struck by the fact that Freud keeps citing marriage broker jokes. They're the only jokes that he uses as examples, and they're bad jokes! Freud didn't have any good material. He would have bombed in Las Vegas."
