 Customer Reviews: Rating:  Date: 2007-08-05 Zalman King's thesis project I believe this film was a thesis project circa soCal late 60's early 70's (USC/UCLA?). Zalman King/Johnny (to create/write, produce such films as Wild Orchid, Red Shoe...) was probably a student or aspiring actor at the time. It is the story of Johnny, a '60's hippy/anti-establishment ski bum, faced with the reality of selling out for cold hard cash or maintaining his true, natural self. It is a dated, quaint look at the hippie philosophy and lifestyle, but, as with many of his future works, it has its moments. If you want to experience a countercultural, trippy nostalgia piece with some wonderfully photographed ski footage and interesting cast/cameos (look for Jackson Browne, for one), pick it up. If you are a fan of Zalman's best work (9 1/2 Wks, Siesta, etc.), this should provide a glimpse of the youthful inspiration that begat the later work and might be worthy of 4 stars. I believe the film is based on the book by Romain Gary. |
