Restricted: For research use. 511 1 Pippin, Howard Besser, Bertrand Augst. 520 A hippie activist gives a conservative Berkeley student a magic potion which makes the young man grow long hair and a beard, and become a militant agitator. The young rebel rapidly climbs the ladder of anti-capitalist success until he finds himself atop a small revolutionary empire. Gradually he becomes a despot; in love with his own authority. Several interludes occur, including one in which a woman serves him a cat for dinner after he reads a Playboy magazine. Eventually his megalomaniacal dictatorship grows out of control, and he masterminds an ill-fated plan to rob a bank. The authoritarian regime is ended when the tyrannical dictator's subjects rise up and murder their leader. 534 |pOriginal format:|eSuper-8 (or Standard 8mm) film. 534 |pElectronic reproduction of (manifestation) :|tReady maid.|cUnited States : Howard Besser, 1972.|e1 videocassette of 1 (40 min.) : silent, black and white and color ; 1/2 in. 541 0 PFA 0230-01-16060.
