Storyline
Plot Summary |
Twenty-year-old Simon is a student at a university located in San Francisco, he being on the university's rowing team his way of fitting in. More on a lark in truly being non-political, he attends a student sit-in at the office of the university's President, a protest against what they see as the university's inherently anti-black and pro-war actions. He decides to continue his association with the protesters more as a way to meet girls, or more specifically get to know Linda, one of the protesters with whom he is partnered in certain tasks. As the protests continue, Simon has to decide where his allegiances lie in the seemingly incompatible worlds of the rowing team and the protests, and if his view of the protests change to true commitment like Linda, who may only want to be with whom she sees as someone like herself, or if his commitment is solely to Linda and not to the cause of the protest.

Did You Know?
Trivia | Originally the film was to be shot on Columbia University's campus. However, Columbia withdrew their offer and the crew moved to Berkeley instead (Columbia University had already been through large student protests in 1967 and '68). The book had not gained notoriety yet and Berkeley was more or less in the dark about the content of the film and what events the director would be staging on the campus. This explains the tongue-in-cheek statement that appears before the opening credits thanking an "anonymous locale" and noting "other cities refused to cooperate." See more » |
Goofs | Coxswains don't say "stroke." The stroke of the boat (the rower in front of the coxswain) is responsible for maintaining the stroke rate. See more » |

Crazy Credits | The following written statement appears on screen before the opening credits sequence: "The producers of this film gratefully acknowledge the cooperation of the people of San Francisco and another anonymous locale for participating in the production of this motion picture. Other cities refused to cooperate--perhaps feeling that strawberries are irrelevant." See more » |
