I love seeing what Los Angeles looked like the year I was born. It still looked similar to this from my first recollections of the early seventies. Many of these cars were still on the road but would soon be replaced by the popular fuel efficient Japanese imports of the seventies.
I had a good time watching this movie. LA in the sixties . Like a sort of street movie. Never been there but watched many movies. Nobody except a outsider would film in places like this. Antother recent movie I watched "To live and to die in LA" Creepy areas of LA again.
So, it’s a film by an Auteur about an aimless, driftless guy in 1969 whose career seems to have reached a dead-end just endlessly driving around Los Angeles listening to the radio on the day before he’s due to report to his draft board & eventually be shipped off to Vietnam, futilely chasing an exotic blond dream girl he spots on the street instead of dealing with the reality of his situation, at one point actually encountering in-universe one of the central people featured in the film’s soundtrack, while meanwhile the auteur director throws in all these little details pointlessly tying it into the larger Cinematic Universe shared by all his other films? From what I can see, it looks like some weird amalgam of American Graffiti, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and watching paint dry. (Btw, why am I here? I happen to be going through the catalog of Spirit and decided to try to find out more about this obscure little movie they contributed to the. Soundtrack for and even had some kind of cameo in. This worked out well when I did it for The Yardbirds and discovered Antonioni's Blow Up, but it doesn’t look like I’ve uncovered any forgotten masterpiece here.)

Watching this also reminded me of why I enjoy watching Adam-12 so much.

Poor Alexandra Hay… she should’ve been a major star.
