B.S. I Love You (1971)


Twentieth Century-Fox
Directed by Steven Hilliard Stern
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

Peter Kastner plays a young director of TV commercials disillusioned by the older generation that runs the advertising company he works for but not quite fitting in with the young hippie generation either. He's pulled in several directions and struggles to cope. He leads a complicated love life that neatly symbolizes the problem: he's having affairs with his boss (the older generation), her nymphomaniac daughter (a hippie) and the girl next door (innocent yet unattainable). It's derivative of The Graduate, the ending in particular is almost a copy of that superior film, but nonetheless a worthwhile examination of the social and moral revolution underway at the time of its release.
