Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJack Nicholson's solo directorial debut. It was one of two post-Easy Rider (1969) Nicholson films that weren't released on any kind of home video until 2010. That year, the Criterion Collection released this movie and A Safe Place (1971) on DVD and Blu-ray as part of their "America Lost And Found - The BBS Story" box set.
- GoofsDuring the second basketball game, the writing on the Ohio Leopards jerseys frequently changes from "Leopards" to "Ohio" on a shot by shot basis.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits are typed so small, one can hardly read them. Sometimes the letters in the names are blurred because of their ultra-small size.

Featured review
Where can I get a copy?
This was a very interesting movie, as it was Jack Nicholson's directorial debut, and included several other stars before they "became big" such as Bruce Dern and Karen Black. I was an extra in this movie when filmed on the University of Oregon campus/in Eugene area in 1971. Before it came out in theaters, I had left the country for the Peace Corps. When I returned, it had come and gone but I never got a chance to see it.
I remember one of the scenes was filmed with a camera inside a basket ball, and was passed back and forth across the court running from one end to the other to "get a perspective from the ball's viewpoint".
Anyone seen any copies (vhs or other options for getting a copy)? Would love to see it, as I was in several scenes but again never saw it.
Thanks for any leads or ideas of where one would go to get more info.
