In 2004, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[5][6][7]
It also appeared on the 1979 ABC News special Mission: Mind Control[8] and the 1990 Oscar-nominated documentary film Berkeley in the Sixties.[9]
