Just completed my Francis Ford Coppola collection with this his student film from UCLA. There is some debate if this really is his first film...he has other credits while working for Roger Corman and editing some 1960s soft core porn. But this as a student film is pretty inventive...very much from a different era...but you see plenty of glimpses of Coppola genius and genuine honesty, especially in the lost and longing love of the protagonist with his wanna be girlfriend, Barbra Darling. The soundtrack sounds like just an avenue for a full film music video for the Lovin' Spoonful...and the lead actor is pretty terrible and over the top...but this film is genuine, fun, and has some really great side characters, especially Rip Torn and Karen Black. This is a real sweet film, but again it has a lot of 60s in it. PLUS
