IMDb plot summary: A young man gains significant political influence as the leader of a counterculture rock band with his rallying cry of voting rights for teenagers.
Directed by Barry Shear. Starring Shelley Winters, Christopher Jones, Diane Varsi, and Hal Holbrook.
This was a delightfully wild ride -- so wild I can't quite tell if it's actually cautioning its viewers against the rise of the young or mocking viewers worried about the rise of the young. But I found it to be so, so much fun, especially our 24-year-old protagonist's personal crisis toward the end when an elementary school child pronounces him "old." It's bizarre and weird and I had so much fun with it.
