Did you know
• Like most exploitation films at the dawn of the teenage-rock-n-roll-era, the title of the film is pure sensationalism. There is actually nothing in the film about beatniks, nor anything about the Beat Generation in general.
• Voice actor Paul Frees's first and only directorial effort.
• Voice specialist Paul Frees not only wrote, executive produced and directed this film, he did multiple voices and narrated the trailer.
