McCall also criticized black politicians and activists, indicting the militants, who condemned African Americans working for city government as "selling out," for not holding the mayor accountable ...for his policies ("A Black Appraisal: Have We Learned a Lesson?" A7). A liberal Republican who represented the city's "Silk Stocking District," which ran from the Upper East Side of Manhattan down through Midtown and the Theater District, culminating in Greenwich Village, Lindsay lacked experience in city politics (Cannato 189). ...the conditions portrayed in The Landlord predated Lindsay's arrival, by which time discrimination was an established city practice. The mayor regularly walked the streets of poor minority neighborhoods throughout his time in office, often without a police escort, with just one aide and a person from the neighborhood (Gottehrer 217). ...he expanded spending on social programs, including the Council Against Poverty, a Great Society initiative, and the administration's own Urban Action Task Force, led by mayoral aide Barry Gottehrer, which served as a liaison to African American neighborhoods like the one depicted in The Landlord (Kifner 35).

In Richard Linklater's Last Flag Flying, it's The Last Detail all over again. Hal Ashby's 1973 film starred Jack Nicholson and Randy Quaid. Last Flag Flying, opening on November 3, 2018 from Amazon ...Studios and Lionsgate, is a "spiritual sequel" to The Last Detail, but it started out as a literal one with the exact same characters 30 years later. Executive producer Thomas Lee Wright persuaded Darryl Ponicsan to writer another novel picking up the later lives of the men from The Last Detail. The original book took place during the final years of the Vietnam War; Ponicsan began his sequel in 2003 as Saddam Hussein's Iraqi empire was crumbling. The new film stars Bryan Cranston, Steve Carell and Laurence Fishburne.

Deep Throat draws on the free love movement to make pornography chic, while using music that, instead of complementing, clashes with the action on the screen, and Roger Corman's Gas-s-s-s, an inane ...film in which everyone over twenty-five is poisoned, tries to appeal to the counterculture audience for, as Country Joe says, "to cash in on the youth culture" (175). The cynical and politically alive Head, often considered the Monkees' quest for countercultural legitimacy, breaks narrative conventions and, in the process, breaks audience expectations of the group, which was created for prime-time television and to live outside the social and political turmoil of the 1960s. Gimme Shelter's focus on the events surrounding Altamont, including the business of a Stones' tour and a distracted audience, further suggests that the music, despite perceptions, never steered the countercultural movement.
Oscar-winning inventor Garrett Brown has taken camerawork to new frontiers. In he history of motion-picture technology, few operators have had a more profound effect on camera movement than Garrett ...Brown. Preceding the prototype's successful debut in 1972 for ABC Sports (covering female jockey Robyn Smith on a 600foot uncut walk from weighing room to paddock), Brown sent out an "impossible shots" reel that included a scene of his girlfriend and future wife Ellen ascending the 72 steps at the entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art with, miraculously, nary a camera wobble. Referring to operating the Steadicam, the Academy Award-winning inventor offered an analogy "It's like painting while riding a horse," says Brown.
