I wonder, is that the film where a goat steps on a naked lady's bare chest?
If it is, I saw it in college in the late 80's/early 90's.

It was made in 1968 and there was an 8mm version released of the first section only -- with Paul Sharits and his (then) wife, whose name I'm sorry I don't know. Quite a few of those were sold, but I've heard that the remaining prints may be badly faded. A 16 mm version of the entire work was probably at the NY Coop and Canyon for awhile (I'm supposing). I don't know the exact date of withdrawal. MoMA has a print (or two), but not in circulation. The original material is now at the Academy Film Archive.

When did he withdraw it? because it seems like I may have seen that at some point......
