Plain jeans are no longer adequate for even the plainest Jane: now the enthusiast can saunter into an expensive boutique like New York City's Billingsley, be interviewed by freelance Costume Designer Linda Sampson, hand her a battered set of denims and return two weeks later to pick up a sort of patchwork personality portrait, sewn together by Linda for $200 or so. Customers do not seem to worry that her interpretations of their personalities will be too freaky. "Basically," she says, "people will wear anything they can get away with."

In fact, the speed of travel and communications today has ended the inferiority complex the California businessman used to have. The California industrialist is liberated from that old provincial feeling. And he shows it. He is tanned, he swims a lot, he is healthy?people are interested...
Charley Fever. This hell away from hell is run by Johnny Williams (Nathan George), a black pimp who is as cold and dangerous as a switchblade. His whores saunter in and out between tricks, and the white one loves him. Johnny wants to challenge the Mafia, which is crimping his style, by assembling a "Black Mafia" to rule his own turf. An ex-con father figure who has gone straight (Walter Jones) warns Johnny that he has contracted "Charley fever" -that is, trying to beat the white man at his own game. The fever inevitably proves fatal, and finally...
