Plot

A smart-mouthed junkie and former hairdresser spends his days dodging the police and hustling in New York.

Sinekatalog’s take

Ivan Passer's comedy-drama, with George Segal and Karen Black, is loose and funny, a gritty slice of early-1970s New York.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
