(Some documentaries of his as well.)

Has anyone seen this? I saw some of it on PBS in '70 or so and it haunted me. Since it's been impossible to find for so long, I thought some others might want this link too.

It would be a blast, after all this time, to not only see the damn thing but then have someone to talk it over w/....

1. Yarghhhhh...youtube down for maintenance....

I guess I can wait another day after all this time...plus a kick for overnight hours...there's gotta be someone else interested in this hard-to-find anti-establishment rock and roll film????!?!?!?

2. Strange you should mention "Privilege"

A few weeks ago i gave my internet savy daughter a purchase order for five movies that had been haunting me. "Chac, The Man Who Fell to Earth, The Exterminating Angel, Death of a Princess and the above cited Privilege.

Chac and the Man Who fell to Earth were easy, Amazon had them.

"Privilege" is not for sale anywhere. Universal holds the rights.

Spoilers follow ........

Mrbill saw this film in the late sixties. Made a major impression on my tiny brain. Don't think that the established church liked this piece of work.

To boost sagging attendence we hire Max Shorter, big time rock and roll star, to spread our message.

And the sheep go ba, ba, ba.....

Somebody should do a remake of this one.
