Overview

An uptight military school gets a dose of hippie-infused rebellion when a group of students gather in support of the 1960s uprising going on around them. When a few students decide to bring the more liberal, artsy side of the revolution onto campus, they face opposition from much of the school's staff.

5/10

1960s set comedy about Kerwin being forced to attend a straitlaced military school lbut being tempted by a pretty hippie girl. Although at times it falls back on clichés of the genre, it has a dynamite soundtrack, beginning with “For What It’s Worth” over the titles. Even at the obligatory dance hall scene, the band plays “Incense And Peppermints” and is then joined by girls who do commendable versions of Grace Slick and Janis Joplin. Only a stupid kitchen scene based on an urban myth involving a microwave (in 1967) is a headscratcher. Walters gets a “Introducing” credit even though had been in pictures for ten years!
