Andy Warhol's "Underground Sundae"

In 1968, Andy Warhol was commissioned by Schrafft's to create a television commercial, and the result was a 60-second film called "Underground Sundae."  Warhol was asked about the project in 1969 during an interview with Joseph Gelmis for The Film Director as Superstar (1970):

Gelmis: You recently made a one-minute commercial for Schrafft's.

Warhol:  Yeah, well, that just took a minute to do.

Gelmis:  But it took more than a minute to put that minute together, didn't it?

Warhol:  No, it just took a minute.

I am currently scouring the universe for a copy of this spot.  Joe Dallesandro, one of the two actors in the commercial, describes what he remembers about the shoot on his website, and I have included the link above.  It contains a few production stills and, be cautioned, some "colorful" language. 

(And you thought Ben & Jerry's had the first psychedelic ice cream.)
