One I'd love to catch (on TV, so as not to pay for) one more time
is that great 60's period piece, "Wild in the Streets", wherein
legions of hippies, led by their most popular rock star, take over
the US and then round up everyone over 30... Great sound track,
too.

I guess I have to add my favorite oldie, though it isn't that bad. "The Red Tent", the story of the DeNoble expedition to the North Pole by dirigible. The story is done in dream sequence and flashback. Sean Connery is the big name I remember offhand, but there are several others. It is a true story, yet it is told using ghosts, etc. to turn it into an adventure. The DeNoble story was interesting unto itself. Check it out. T. C. Wheeler

Great sound track, >too. "Wild in the Streets" is not all *that* bad a film, considering the genre. If you'll remember it has Hal Holbrook, the late Ed Begley, Christopher Stone (I believe) and a very you Richard Pryor in it. There may be more interesting folk, but it has been many years since I saw the film. -- Byron C. Howes ...!{decvax,akgua}!mcnc!ecsvax!bch

His career was on a meteoric rise back in the late sixties and then he just vanished. As far as I know he didn't die. To the best of my recollection he made 4 films: Three In the Attic (1967), Wild In the Streets (1968), Ryan's Daughter (1970), The Looking Glass War (1970). The fact that the last two films were flops may have something to do with it, but that alone shouldn't have killed a promising career. He seemed very much a successor to James Dean, whom he somewhat resembled, and it's ironic that, like Dean, he should make less than a handful of films.

Are you SURE he didn't get killed or something? I seem to recall that Christopher Jones did die, or committ sucide in the early seventies.
