Bill Norton's elegy on the L.A. counterculture seems to be in the right place at the right time, but lets the opportunity slip right between its legs. Some sidelong glances at the business of dope sales; some intense star-gazing at the twitches of Gene Hackman and the slouches of Kris Kristofferson, in his film debut as a retired singing star and legendary drug dealer. Both have some of their thunder stolen by Harry Dean Stanton, in a relief role, as a manic pill-popper. With Karen Black and Viva. (1971) — Duncan Shepherd
