CAMEO('Jonathan Harvey (II)' (qv)): Screenwriter appears as the Wheelchair Queen in the scene in the Gloucester pub., When Sandra recalls that Cass Elliot died by choking on a sandwich she is repeating an urban legend. "Mama" Cass actually died of heart failure. Reports immediately after her death (before the autopsy) apparently quoted her doctor as saying she probably died by choking on a sandwich. Despite the results of the autopsy, the sandwich story has stuck., The rainbow depicted early in the movie foreshadows to the nature of the movie. The gay community associates itself with the rainbow.
