The big hair and the wide collars on the shirts and suit jackets. Elliot Gould is Harry, trying to get his teaching degree. It's the end of the turbulent sixties, and he has all the usual college age (30 yrs old!) problems... no money, fighting with his girl, and his professor doesn't like him. Co-stars Candy Bergen, Jeannie Berlin, Greg Sierra. Everyone's protesting, and half of them aren't sure what they are fighting for. Lots of fast talking. His friends are getting drafted or trying to get out of it. Somehow. Directed by Richard Rush; would be nominated for two oscars for Stuntman ten years after this.based on the novel by Robert Kaufman, Ken Kolb .
