I do believe that todays college campus is not as frenetic as the one in this college comedy drama.
In 1970 many college campuses were in a turmoil, the events staged in this movie had some basic facts of other events, .
Richard Rush who in 10 years) would make THE STUNT MAN directed Robert Kaufmans screenplay taken from Ken Kolbs novel. This movie was a laugh riot & also quite tense in the final riot scenes.
Today it is still good & not dated as some similar films of that period are.
Elliot Gould is superb in the lead, His performance was od award caliber, why he was not at least nominated is beyond me.
Candace Bergen co-stars. Now Miss Bergen has never been know for her acting ability, she does try however to give a credible performance.
In the cast are Jeff Corey,Cecil Kellaway (this fine actors last role)
& in a bit role Harrison Ford (one of his first roles).
I highly recommend this pick for all, those who have seen it before & for those too young to have seen it in 1970.
Ratings: ***1/2 (out of 4) 95 points (out of 100) IMDb 9 (out of 10)
