Carl Franzoni

Franzoni was the archetypal 'King of the Freaks' of the Californian happenings of the 1960s.

The film was one of the first exponents of the mobile camera-rock track-optical effect school of filmmaking, and it is much a document as it is a documentary.

LSD-25

MovieDocumentary
The dangers of LSD are driven home to teenagers in this classroom training film, which is "narrated" by an LSD tab.

"Experts" are presented who warn that LSD makes kids "paint themselves green" and has various other horrible side effects, the most serious of which is that it gives users a police record, and that there is "no known way of getting your fingerprints out of a police file once they're in there."
