The Troublemaker

Plus some swingin' surprises including a special beat poetry reading by Adam Sussman.

Too hip to howl? Then you won't want to be seen at this scene: a free flick by Theodore Flicker-The Troublemaker, a finger-snappin' exposé of a bumpkin opening a coffeehouse in Greenwich Village. Jack (Tom Aldredge) discovers being a purveyor of cool is hot, everybody wants a piece: the building inspectors, the bureaucrats, even the mobsters. While he's fighting off the finaglers, he's haunting the voluptuous Village with his gal-pal played by Joan Darling. This groovin' guffaw was written by Buck Henry who would soon pen The Graduate and later become a regular guest on Saturday Night Live. All for a cup of joe.
