(DVD, Richmark)
A Marine on emergency leave from Vietnam falls in love with a hippie chick in southern California. Her ideas of "free love" confuse him, not to mention her friends and all of the marijuana they smoke, but he's open-minded enough to at least consider their point of view. All of that changes when they plan a demonstration against the war and he is forced to defend his beliefs. More than just a copycat of Easy Rider, this forgotten film captures the essence of the anti-war movement and the concurrent cultural revolution. It occasionally indulges in psychedelic "liquid light" segments, skinny dipping, chopper riding and other favorite pastimes. Music by San Francisco favorites Steve Miller Band and Country Joe and the Fish, among others.
