Brian De Palma’s counterculture comedy is an episodic, energetic and free-spirited, French New Wave-inspired satire riffing on Vietnam, JFK, sex, art, filmmaking and any/everything else it sets its sites on. Robert De Niro, in his first major role, and Gerrit Graham star. Greetings will be presented from an original release 35mm print with faded color.
“It goes back to the roots, it rediscovers the basic elements of movie comedy. Working on a small budget, doing things they thought were funny, taking their camera out to the streets of New York, making up things as they went along, Brian De Palma and his friends made a comedy. Just like Mack Sennett used to do.” – Roger Ebert
