Eerie visions, horror, and a real or imagined new awareness of self crowd a teen-ager's mind when he gets on the drug kick. With chilling casualness, a 17-year-old, starting college this fall, describes for TIME his three years of drug taking. Brought up in the East in a middle-class suburban family, he was sent to a private school in Colorado because his parents hoped the experience would buck up his sagging attitudes and grades.

The dialogue remains flaccid throughout, badly in need of the kind of cutting edge that Billy Wilder could have given it. What Mazursky and Tucker obviously had in mind was a sophisticated, controversial comedy, but their work suggests that sex is too important to be left to Hollywood. Why B&C&T&A was chosen to open a presumably serious film festival on the gala first night is a mystery understood only by the program committee...
