In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Gertrude Stein
The article suggests that the title of the film is a reference to the fact that Toklas used cannabis in her famous Brownies (which is not strictly true, as it was a suggestion of her friend Brion Gysin). The fact that Toklas was Gertrude Stein's lover is not mentioned. The fact that Stein wrote her memoirs entitled The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas suggests that the title of this film implies more than is mentioned. --JHvW (talk) 17:26, 30 August 2010 (UTC)


 * It's really quite simple: Nancy tells Harold that the cooking receipt for the hash brownies is from Alice B. Toklas's cook book. When Harold in turn tells that to his mom that those "wonderful brownies" were "invented" by Toklas, she euphorically repeats, "I love you, Alice B. Toklas!", as she's so excited about the brownies. There's really no deeper meaning about Toklas or her relationship with Gertrude Stein or that obscure biography in the movie. --2003:EF:1702:2760:3D8D:5226:2506:4A68 (talk) 11:25, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
