Real Gone Garbage.

Even though the plot concerns a college chemistry student who is lured into drug-making and the dangers of the "acid" lifestyle, this ain't no "Breaking Bad". What it is, is a waste of time and money. I saw it on VHS way back in the 1990s (I think it was Something Weird Video) and I remember it being pretty bad and amateurish although it did have a handful of cool tunes. Both sides of the 1967 classic 45 by Bit A'Sweet are in there as well as The Vagrants' "I Love You, Love You (Yes, I Do)" and the great E-Types song "Put the Clock Back on the Wall". I do NOT recommend the movie although the soundtrack album has the aforementioned tunes, snippets of dialog and really cool artwork... but don't let anybody tell you that the movie is anything more than cinematic doggie-do. A generous 4/10 for the songs and naked ladies.

Cheaply made exploitation flick of interest as a cultural artifact.

An innocent young blonde gets involved with some hippies in 1960's New York City and almost overdoses on drugs. Cheap exploitation flick features some nudity, lots of drug use, and music by The Vagrants and The E-Types, whose song "Put The Clock Back On the Wall" is played over and over to hide the bad acting. Film is shot in a harsh, grainy black and white. The films sound is terrible. To think this was so shocking back in 1968. Worth viewing as a historical artifact, not much else.

Interesting Experience in NYC

I was also a writer at CashBox and was friends with Jackie Braveman and Eddie Adlum. This film opened at a theater in Nassau County, Long Island and was confiscated by the Nassau County Sheriff the same night.I had a couple lines as a detective in the film and glad my name was not in the credits.I do remembver Eddie telling me the distributor would not take the film unless they went back and addes more "black and white and skin". Jackie did that and that's probably what got the flm confiscated.
