She was supposed to play one of the wives of Manos but injured her leg. The whole subplot about the couple in the car making out, was the director being nice and creating a role so she would still be in the film.<br /><br />Also, the music for Manos isn't THAT bad ("Do Thing With Me" being the only notable exception). It's got a decent ethereal vibe that works given the context of the film. <br /><br />Also, there is no real deep message to the film; it was a cheap horror film made on a dare and if anything can be read into it, Manos basically promotes the Lovecraftian message that it's a horrible universe out there and bad shit can happen to you if you stray from the normal path, as seen by the fate of the family at the end.
