Dull
I thought these poems were boring and uninspired. From someone with Hesse's reputation, I expected something good. The intro by Wright was very interesting, better than the poems.

What garbage!
0 of 1 found this helpful An all-star cast for this. George Gaynes (Wonderful Town (Bernstein), Out of This World (Porter)), Iggie Wolfington (The Music Man), Russell Nype (Call Me Madam (Berlin)), Louis Nye (Steve Allen, Tom Poston). The dancing such as it was was amateurish. The plot was between violent and stupid. Thee are only 3 songs by Kurt Weill I like. One of them (I'm A Stranger Here Myself) is in this. The other 2 are The Saga of Jenny and It Never Was You. The rest of the songs in this show are so bad I wonder how they ever got this thing produced. Some people like Speak Low When You Speak Love. I expected better from Ogden Nash.

Stunk
I hated this movie. In one scene, a girls says she loves Bach. Guthrie says he prefers music. Toward the end of the movie, he's in a hospital room with several people and they pull out their kazoos and sing "Take me for a ride in your car-car." Is this what he considers music, and Bach isn't? A major plot point is they dump a truck load of garbage over a cliff and are arrested for littering. This is treated as an absurdity by the hippies. It's not absurd at all. Education is considered a ridiculous joke. I threw the movie away. And the acting is very affected.
