Quotes
Ginger: I just don't dig violence in any form. If I'm gonna throw a bomb, it's gonna be a love bomb. If I'm gonna trip out, it's gonna to be a love trip. You know what I mean?
Joe: I think so.
Ginger: I still have faith in my fellow human beings, and so far I'm right.
Joe: Well, so far.
Ginger: It's really weird, though. People are more afraid of love than hate. And love is so much stronger than hate or violence. Just a lot harder to come by.

Interesting Early 1970s piece

This early work starring Sissy Spacek is not a bad period piece. Spacek was 25 when she starred in this movie as a hitchhiker who falls for a middle aged businessman who picks her up. Even at this early age, you can tell that Spacek knows her craft and gives a deeper performance than her older costars. While there are some campy moments and forced dialog, I found that the low-budget film's unvarnished feel brought back a real sense of life in the early 1970s. There is a scene where the two male costars get drunk, and it really is a realistic portrayal of having fun while you are drunk! There are some funny moments, and it's far from a bomb. I purchased the DVD for $1 at my local dollar store, and felt it was worth at least that!
