for the IN-CROWD and the PLEASURE LOVERS, Nite Crew will be screening 1968's PSYCH-OUT at 10pm eastern/7pm pacific

with the lovely Susan Strasberg of stage and screen, the handsome Dean Stockwell who later played "Al" on Quantum Leap, and the young and fresh-faced Jack Nicholson and Bruce Dern, plus music by The Strawberry Alarm Clock and The Seeds!



"Thin story line – girl seeking lost brother – is sufficient as the medium for a series of incidents, including drug-induced hallucinations, all directed in excellent fashion by Richard Rush. Production is strong on realistic location values, as well as special effects." - Variety

"[S]eeing a ponytailed Nicholson fake his way through a bad "Purple Haze" ripoff is worth seeing by itself" - Jerry Renshaw, Austin Chronicle

"[I]f you can accept the clichés and archaisms, as well as some third-rate acid rock from The Seeds and Strawberry Alarm Clock, there are compensations: some beautifully baroque performances (Dern and Stockwell in particular), Laszlo Kovacs' effective visualisation of Strasberg's bad STP trip, the spectacle (as irresistible as it is preposterous) of Jack Nicholson sporting lead guitar at the Fillmore." - Time Out
