Possibly the first counter-cultural mainstream studio release, which, as early as 1964, presented 'new' Hollywood's take on 'old' Hollywood, heightened by the fact that its star, Peter Fonda, and director, Samuel Goldwyn Jr., were descended from old Hollywood royalty. Despite the bold anti-Establishment tone, there is an uneasy, fascinating merging of the two eras, evidenced by Sharon Hugueny and Fonda's characters' anachronistic tango sequence, an unmistakable homage to The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1921).
Along with The Subterraneans (1960), one of very few films from the MGM catalog that has never been released in any home video format.
