Psych-out
Tune in. turn on. Psych out! Take the ultimate in psychedelic trips with Susan Strasberg, Dean Stockwell, Jack Nicholson and Bruce Dern. When a deaf runaway (Strasberg) visits swinging San Francisco in search of her brother, she teams up with the aptly named Stoney (Jack Nicholson complete with pony tail) and his out-of-sight hippie band Mumblin' Jim. But the more she succumbs to that music – and the danger-filled Flower Power scene – the more she realises that reality is a rotten place to be! Memorable line: “Warren's freakin' out in the gallery!”
