some social commentary and flat comedy

Bank teller Fred Amidon (Dick Van Dyke) is divorcing his wife Rachel Amidon (Angie Dickinson). He and his girlfriend Pamela Anderson (Rosemary Forsyth) are having a picnic in Central Park when they are attacked by bees. Fred gets stung on his chin. He can't shave and starts growing a beard while on vacation despite Pamela's objection. The bank manager is not happy with his look and fires him. Others join and walk out.

The Central Park start is a little funny. At least, it is trying very hard to be funny. This is a film premise looking for its humor. I get the clash of hippie and banking. I try to stay within the time period. As social commentary, there is something here. As a comedy, it just goes flat.
