    "You people don't know. You don't want to know. You don't know the people. You don't show the people. Some time when some poor cat who's nobody- some cat who wakes up and says, 'I'm gonna die and nobody but my old lady will even know that I ever lived'... When this cat throws a brick through Charlie's window... and shoots; then he lives. He lives on the tube. A hundred million people know the former invisible man lives. The whole world knows where he went to school... the tube is life, man- life. And you make him the TV star, the emmy man of the hour... Why don't you find out what really is? Why do you wait until somebody gets killed, man?"

    One of the most interesting experimental movies in the 60's. A time when they were experimenting with form and means of delivery. some parts of the movies wear shot live during the 1968 riots in Chicago during the democratic presidential convention. the actress was actually walking amongst the rioters in a bright yellow dress looking completely out of place while the rioters battled the police. very interesting stuff which was not even planned in the script.

    I saw this movie in, well, 1969. At the time it was rated X because it contained full frontal nudity. I can barely remember it now except that the stuff going on up there on the screen also was going on, uh, outside the theater.
