Monday, Dec. 31 - Mondo Hollywood

Mondo Hollywood (1967)

Documentary about the social/political/cultural scene in Los Angeles, and especially Hollywood, in the mid to late '60s. The film opens with Gypsy Boots (the original hippie vegan - desert hopping blender salesman), and stripper Jennie Lee, working out 'Watusi-style' beneath the 'Hollywood' sign -- leading into the 'sustainable community' insight of Lewis Beach Marvin III, the S&H Green Stamp heir, who lived in a $10 a month garage while owning a mountain retreat in Malibu.
