Omg, I SO want to see it. At least his answer was quite honest, well thought out, and logical. He probably wouldn't let it be seen posthumously either...

I don't doubt it is a disaster, but man would it be amazing to be seen...

Although never seen publicly, the film became a source of legend almost immediately after its production. In May 1992, an article in Spy magazine quotes comedian and actor Harry Shearer, who saw a rough cut of the film in 1979:

With most of these kinds of things, you find that the anticipation, or the concept, is better than the thing itself. But seeing this film was really awe-inspiring, in that you are rarely in the presence of a perfect object. This was a perfect object. This movie is so drastically wrong, its pathos and its comedy are so wildly misplaced, that you could not, in your fantasy of what it might be like, improve on what it really is. "Oh My God!" – that's all you can say. — Harry Shearer , Spy Magazine, 1992[4]

Omg, I SO want to see it.
