More About
From 1965 to 1966, L.A.’s Sunset Strip crawled with a party-hard youth culture drawn to big-name acts like the Doors, Frank Zappa, and Love. Struggling to maintain its hip status, Hollywood responded by cranking out a string of films—set amid the celebrities, teenage partiers, and go-go dancers of the Strip—that are now getting a revival as a part of the IFC Center’s Waverly Midnights new series, Riot on Sunset Strip: Rock Rebellion and Hollywood Hippies. It kicks off tonight with Wild in the Streets (1968), the story of a young anarchist turned pop star who runs for the White House on a platform promising 14-year-olds the vote. Other highlights include Riot on Sunset Strip, a B-movie about a police captain assigned to crack down on the Strip’s troublemakers (including his daughter), and You Are What You Eat, featuring Zappa, David Crosby, and Tiny Tim.
