Drama

6.0 / 10

Jenny, a deaf runaway who has just arrived in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district to find her long-lost brother, a mysterious bearded sculptor known around town as The Seeker. She falls in with a psychedelic band, Mumblin' Jim, whose members include Stoney, Ben, and Elwood. They hide her from the fuzz in their crash pad, a Victorian house crowded with love beads and necking couples. Mumblin' Jim's truth-seeking friend Dave considers the band's pursuit of success "playing games," but he agrees to help Jennie anyway.

JN "plays" guitar, not bass, I'm pretty sure, but does so unbelievable badly. Trying to add the whole music element to the plot really adds to the dated dopiness. - @Monday, January 1, 2018 1:12 AM

The first station to go 24 hours in Cleveland used to run the hell out of this, Edgar Ulmer's swan song THE CAVERN, and Roger Corman's THE INTRUDER. - @Wednesday, January 21, 2015 7:03 AM

stupid flick. for a better and more accurate interpretation of the 60's counter cultural movement, see Alice's Restaurant by Milos Foreman (starring Arlo Guthrie, natch). - @Wednesday, August 28, 2013 5:34 AM

I'm glad you said "It's even more true now," because people have a habit of "stereotyping" a decade a little more all the time, Which is why I usually prefer a ' 60s movie made DURING the ' 60s. Like this one or THE TRIP. - @Tuesday, August 27, 2013 6:13 PM
