Some of the men seemed mutations of themselves. At American expatriate's face had been completely destroyed when he settled in Paris and had been rebuilt on the model of a stranger. One of the photographers had been a rock-and-roll star. The American unit publicist was on leave from a seminary in California, where he was preparing for the Unitarian Universalist ministry, his negotiations with the U.S. government on obtaining the brothel concession in Vietnam having fallen through...
CANTERBURY TALES. This British musical has not thrived on a sea change from London. Four of Geoffrey Chaucer's pilgrims' tales are told without the unity of faith and flesh of the 14th century. The pop-rock score seems incongruous, and the dialogue is all in rhyming couplets; the sensation is rather like spending the evening listening to a metronome...

Pennebaker, who made Don't Look Back, the one widely seen verite documentary, more than half a dozen cameramen prowled the crowd catching the mood-but not the meaning-of the event. Several performers (Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, Ravi Shankar) come through with a jolting, immediate intensity, but watching Monterey Pop is like listening to an LP with pictures. Twenty years from now, the film may have value as a historical curiosity. Surely...
