trippy trip for Tippy
16 May 2020
Apparently a commentary on the clash of backgrounds. addictive, extreme drug use in the 1970s. stars relative unknowns Michael Brandon and Tippy Walker. also has Robert DeNiro (the cab driver) , Peter Bonerz( the psychologist), and Jeff Conaway. Viewers will recognize Conaway from Taxi.. he died in 2011, but still has two films coming out in 2021. and ... this was the very first appearance for Barry Bostwick. (before rocky horror.) Marcus (Brandon) meets Jennifer (Walker) in venice, and they hit it off, running around the piazza san marcos and swimming in the canals. lots of "us against the establishment" talk. and when Marcus needs help with something, he blackmails his friend into helping. and a funny scene where Larry Dolci searches all the containers in his fridge for the hidden hash. story is so similar to Skidoo... the story itself is all over the place. a lot of darkness in here. also adventure. getting high. Jennie treats Marcus like crap and he wants her more than ever. because its a psychadelic 70s flim, we're not really sure just what's going on, but that's part of the ride. and a wild ride it is. Directed by Noel Black. he was nominated for best short film in 1966. Story by Roger Simon. whatever.
