Interesting facts
Chafed Elbows is a 1966 American still image underground film directed, written and produced by Robert Downey Sr.
Production
Downey photographed most of the movie with a still 35mm camera and had the film processed at Walgreens drugstore. These pictures were animated alongside a few live-action scenes and almost all of the dialogue was dubbed.
One scene was shot in Anthology Film Archives’s upstairs theater back in the days when the building was still a defunct downtown courthouse.
All 13 of the female roles were played by Elsie Downey, Robert Downey's wife, and the lead male role by George Morgan.
