Rough around the edges but watchable
Granted this film has an amateurish quality, but it has good performances and was directed by John Avildsen who is known for some very good stuff. It was made around 1970 and there were a lot of influences from the hippie era. It's the story of a man named Bill who is a fairly highly placed cog in a big business machine. He has suburban home with a wife and child and is a respectable, responsible person but with a little wildness in his past and still thinks of himself as being an individual and not an automaton. One day he encounters a former friend from his wilder days. This friend is an underground film maker who is working on a project. The friend invites Bill to hang around the set and watch. Bill is intrigued by a crazy, sexy girl cast member and has to decide how far into her world he wants to go. The film is a small character study. It is moderately amusing and reasonably interesting.
