  Saw this at the midnight show at the Playboy Theater in Chicago around 1972. Thought it was quite cool and outrageous.

  Saw it again about 3 years ago and thought it had not aged too well.

    I too saw it last year for the first time in many, many years and thought that it was a little long in the tooth. But I remember when I first saw it in the theatre around 1969, it was just different enough to have an impact.

      It was one of the first American independents, a true "undergraound film" for its day.

      And it fit the anti-establishment sentiment of the times.
