But this bright and mellow spring Sunday just might turn out to be, well, different, you know, together. Milos Forman, the Czech-born director (One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest), trying to turn the Aquarian Age stage hit Hair into a movie, needs an authentic circa 1968 "bein" as backdrop for crucial scenes.
