...mother who "invented the oedipal complex," and a father forever hidden behind the pages of The Daily News, to seek love, fame and fortune as an actor in the big city. What he finds are more old cliches: unfurnished pads and wild parties, abortions and carrot juice squeezers, coffeehouses, Freudian analysts and old young people, everywhere, waiting to be discovered. Mazursky's film is less the personal journey its title suggests than a description of a time and place trapped in its own image. It is a mood piece, soaked in Technicolor's blue, 'fifties light.
