Peter Tork directed this episode (credited under his real name, Peter H. Thorkelson), as part of a deal worked out with series producers Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider, who refused to let The Monkees direct themselves in their movie Head (1968). (Micky Dolenz also agreed to this deal, directing Mijacogeo (1968).) Tork was the only Monkee to show up on the set, the first shooting day of "Head"; the other members staged a one-day walkout against Rafelson and Schneider.
One scene involving a MGB Coupe Roadster (owned by production assistant Marilyn Schlossberg) was flipped during editing to make it appear to be a left hand driver.
