You’re a Big Boy Now 06/01/24

Come back to the middle 1960s, when America’s hottest film student Francis Ford Coppola started on his path to directorial glory by parlaying his UCLA film school thesis film into a full-on studio production. A canny synthesis of youth trends and Coppola’s own weird sense of humor, the free-form comedy announces ‘I’ve arrived.’ The music is by The Lovin’ Spoonful and the cast is stellar: Peter Kastner, Elizabeth Hartman, Geraldine Page, Rip Torn, Julie Harris, Michael Dunn, Tony Bill, Dolph Sweet — and introducing a delightful Karen Black. Plus a close-up look at Times Square in ’66!  On Blu-ray from The Warner Archive Collection.
