1966 film withPeter Kastner ,Geraldine Page ,Julie Harris andKaren Black , written and directed byFrancis Ford Coppola based on a novel byDavid Benedictus .The story of a young man's troubled awakening to the big world is a peculiar one. But the film is an early example of the forthcoming
counterculture sensibilities — not because of a focus on drugs or long hair, but because of the inclusion of the emerging music, the latest dance trends, and fresh social attitudes. As with "The Graduate ", there is the sense of searching for "something new" other than the conventional, discouraging world of the socially secure adults.The hit song by the same name, written and performed by the
Lovin' Spoonful , was later included in an album a year later, after the movie had run its course in first-run theaters.The movie also contained the
Lovin' Spoonful instrumental "Amy's Theme", and the jazz bagpiperRufus Harley plays a small role. The Spoonful released a soundtrack album.Cast
