Preceded by shorts: Apropos of San Francisco (Charles Levine, USA, 1968). After or for Jean Vigo. With Ben Van Meter. (4.5 mins, B&W/Color, 16mm) Eyetoon (Jerry Abrams, USA, late '60s). "The film Eyetoon would seem to be the perfect synthesis of the metaphysical, spiritual and sexual feelings of a sensitive experimental filmmaker" (Reverend Earl Shagley). (8 mins, Color) (Both16mm, From Canyon Cinema) Those two irrepressible impresarios of sixties youth culture, Dick Clark and Samuel Z. Arkoff, join forces to unleash their version of the Haight-Ashbury counterculture on an unsuspecting Middle America in Psych-Out, the first feature by director Richard Rush (The Stunt Man). Susan Strasberg plays a deaf seventeen-year-old runaway with surprisingly acute lip-reading skills who comes to San Francisco to look for her missing brother (Bruce Dern). This modern Alice in Tripsville is assisted in her search by a trio of hippies led by Stoney (Jack Nicholson)-guitar player for Mumbly Jim, prodigious womanizer, and closet nine-to-fiver. Lots of good drug scenes, dippy flower-power dialogue, hideous Day Glo art, and really awful rock'n'roll (check out the Mumbly's brazen Jimi Hendrix ripoff) make this film an embarrassment of riches for all those who miss(ed) the real thing.-Albert Kilchesty
