Plots(1)
Peter Fonda stars in this joyously psychedelic freak-out from legendary low-budget director Roger Corman. It's a lysergic time capsule set in swinging 1967 Los Angeles, as Paul (Fonda), a commercial director in the midst of a divorce, takes time out to have his first LSD experience. Bruce Dern is John, his "guide," and Dennis Hopper is their dealer. Fellow hipster Jack Nicholson wrote the screenplay. Paul's hallucinations include painted women wandering along a beach, cloaked horseback riders, kaleidoscopic colour patterns, a dwarf (Angelo Rossitto) on a merry-go-round, and his own death. Finally, Paul freaks out and hits the streets, where he digs some go-go dancing at a club and some spinning laundry at the Laundromat. Too much! Susan Strasberg plays his wife. Sali Sachse and Judy Lang are a couple of groovy women he meets along the way. Corman regulars Jonathan Haze, Barboura Morris, and Luana Anders also appear, and look fast for Peter Bogdanovich at a party. (official distributor synopsis)
