Released in 1964, Couch is a notable film directed by Andy Warhol, running about 54 minutes.

What it’s about. The couch at Andy Warhol's Factory was as famous in its own right as any of his Superstars. In Couch, visitors to the Factory were invited to "perform" on camera, seated on the old couch. Their many acts-both lascivious and mundane-are documented in a film that has come to be regarded as one of the most notorious of Warhol's early works. Across the course of the film we encounter such figures as poets Allen Ginsberg and Gregory Corso, the writer Jack Kerouac, and perennial New York figure Taylor Mead.

Who’s in it. Couch stars Bingingham Birdie as Himself, Rufus Collins as Himself, Gregory Corso as Himself and Allen Ginsberg as Himself, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 6.2/10, Couch has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
