The Beat Generation parody?


Was "The Beat Generation" a particular rip off of another film?

I'd buy that one! I particularly recall the cheesy music in Dirty Movie, the music to Mr Jolly Lives Next Door and the song and dance number in Detectives on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. I think the first two I listed were performed by Raw Sex, who were sort of part of the Comic Strip crowd anyway. I'm sure they were involved in other episodes.

Oops, somehow posted to the wrong thread!

I came to this board to see if anyone else had seen a rather bad film called.. 'The Beat Generation'.. Charles F. Haas, 1959 .. except that wasn't meant as a rather affectionate parody, but as a rather judgmental swipe at Beats...
It is really rather bad, and includes a rather leaden lecture on abortion by a Catholic Priest, but worth a bemused look (It is on YouTube as of August 2014)

few visible scars
