Granted this film has an amateurish quality, but it has good performances and was directed by John Avildsen who is known for some very good stuff. It was made around 1970 and there were a lot of influences from the hippie era. It's the story of a man named Bill who is a fairly highly placed cog in a big business machine. He has suburban home with a wife and child and is a respectable, responsible person but with a little wildness in his past and still thinks of himself as being an individual and not an automaton. One day he encounters a former friend from his wilder days. This friend is an underground film maker who is working on a project. The friend invites Bill to hang around the set and watch. Bill is intrigued by a crazy, sexy girl cast member and has to decide how far into her world he wants to go. The film is a small character study. It is moderately amusing and reasonably interesting.

Back in the days when movies began their run on Wednesday I got a free pass to a theater and used it on this because the ad showed a racy picture of Roz Kelly and I think she was standing on a giant pork snout. The rest I blocked out of my mind as this was the worst no budget Paul Morrisey type flick I ever had to misfortune to see then and maybe since. If you're thinking if this could possibly be some lost gem for future MST3K type fodder you'd be wrong. THis is no plan 9 just an out of focus talky obnoxious comedy drama about a wall street nerd in love with a crass village hippie.I talked to the guy who gave me the pass a few days later and he said that it didn't even make it until the weekend before they pulled because of the complaints and the other chains did the same. I sometimes wonder if I would still feel the same way about this film if I saw it again but then again at one point I considered piercing my privates as well.
