Psych-Out 1968   N/R, 88 min.
Genre: Comedy
Director: Richard Rush
Cast: Susan Strasberg, Dean Stockwell, Jack Nicholson, Bruce Dern, Adam Roarke, Max Julien, Henry Jaglom, Linda Gaye Scott, Ken Scott, Garry Marshall
This film gets its "1/2 star" rating only because it is an EARLY Jack Nicholson film. However, the plot is weak and involves a deaf girl (Susan Strasberg) searching for her brother among the 1960's "hippies" of San Francisco. Of course, some of those who were part of that culture may enjoy it. 1 User Review
