Does anyone know anyone that saw this is the theater in 1970?


Just wondering WHO the audience was and WHAT was the reaction . This played at local "ma & pa" movie theaters on a double bill with (the awful) "Myra Breckenridge" in a wide release (I have old newspaper ads to prove it).
Ahhhhhhh what a wonderful time 1970 was to be a young adult in................

There was so much weed being smoked that the fumes erased my memory...however I do remember one person screamed "that sucked" as he left the theater.

I wasn't quite 17 and my Mom and I drove up to Niagara Falls from Hartford. we saw this advertised at a drive-in and, not knowing what it was about, went into the show. Once it started ... well, you have no idea what it's like being 16 and watching such smut with your mom in the car seat next to you ... But the next days the Falls were certainly beautiful, LOL.
