Possibly Roger Corman’s most personal film, the “first ’60s drug movie,” was made from a screenplay by Jack Nicholson and features Peter Fonda as a director of television commercials who experiments with LSD to come to terms with his failing marriage and career. With an experienced guide (Bruce Dern), the trip (illustrated with compelling psychedelic montages created by Dennis Jakob) begins serenely but becomes progressively darker. Corman took LSD in preparation for the film; legend has it that he lay in Griffith Park and said, “It’s a good thing I didn’t do this before I made my millions.” New 35mm made by the Academy Film Archive with support from Roger Corman, Julie Corman and Jon Davison.
