Trivia
Reportedly, Hugh Hefner himself saw it and evidently enjoyed it, going so far as to promote the original, brazenly unofficial USA Network project in both print and broadcast interviews.

Goofs
The car crash that caused Tom Lownes death by Bobbie Arnstein happened in South Indiana, not in Kentucky as said in the movie.

Quotes
Hugh Hefner: 'Penthouse' is a novelty item. Guccione doesn't have an original bone in his Body, pun intendened. The entire Magazine is a Playboy rip-off. Pets instead of Playmates, a key instead of a Rabbit, interviews, forums instead of columns, some other bitch think she's Pfeiffer.

Creepy Pervert Wears Pajamas

Hugh Hefner's gimmick for sixty years was that he wore pajamas at every public appearance. How cheesy is that?? I mean, talk about lame-O. The guy met with his publicity team, and they decided he should wear pajamas for the rest of his life. That is the secret of his success! Pajamas!
