...second-stage lift to the career of Michael Parks. As Adam in John Huston's movie version of The Bible, Parks wears little more than foliage. In this befuddled study of London's dashing young set, he vigorously fleshes out an even barer role as a beatnik U.S. artist...
From Tel Aviv to Coventry, the cities of Western Europe and the Mediterranean have lately been afflicted with a phenomenon familiar to the U.S.: the beatnik.

...more probable result than murder. But Dr. Cohen concedes that any man who stays on LSD for three days would require repeated, increasing doses, and might have reactions not previously seen by psychiatrists. Equally important is the basic personality of the LSD user: on college campuses and in beatnik dives in California, most users are young, directionless and more confused than hostile; New York City may well have a greater proportion of hard-core misfits, with different problems...
