| Summary: | Babo 73: The president of the United Status, who, when he isn't at the White House conducts his top-secret affairs on a deserted beach. Chafed elbows: Follows a shiftless downtown Manhattanite having his "annual November breakdown" as he wanders from one odd job to the next, coming across all sorts of sordid types. No more excuses: Downey takes his camera and microphone onto the streets (and into some bedrooms) for a look at Manhattan's singles scene of the late sixties. Between this footage and the fragmented tale of a time-traveling Civil War soldier, comes a rant from the director of the fictional Society for Indecency to Naked Animals. Putney Swope: Putney Swope, the token black man on the board of a Madison Avenue advertising agency, is inadvertently elected chairman. Two tons of turquoise to Taos tonight: This film is a rush of curious sketches, scenes, and shots that takes on a rhythmic life of its own. |
