Robert Frank's 26 minute culture clash short captures Allen Ginsburg, Gregory Corso, Larry Rivers, and Peter Orlovsky on film and is probably the definitive movie on the "beat" generation. Narrated by Jack Kerouac (it's silent save for a hep music score), the film features Rivers as Milo, a railroad man and Delphine Seyrig as his wife. They invite the local Bishop over for a drink only to have him (and his sister and mother) mingling with Ginsburg and co. It's very interesting to see this time in literary history captured in such an unpretentious way while it was happening. An amusing and fascinating film that is surely a must-see for beatnik aficionados.
