Rack dialogue, pat views toward drugs, Bruce Dern as a freaked-out artist confronted by Jack stealing his own work from the communal gallery ("*He* guided my hands when I made this" - 'this' being a rather nondescript lump of metal). Susan Strasberg as a deaf newcomer to the Haight-Ashbury - her reaction to the drug STP is a terrific filmic strain to represent a bad trip. Directed by Richard Rush, later to do "The Stunt Man", produced by - wait for it - DICK CLARK. Probably regarded as an earnest, hard-hitting film on release, now a highly dated, and enjoyable, film.
