Lars eat your heart out with this insanely fantastic image of Susan Strasberg in Psych-Out!!! This is a movie image to love right alongside anything I’d see or have in L’eclisse, Sword of Doom, Casablanca, Out of the Past, Gambit or any of the all time greats. I simply cannot love a movie image anymore than this one. It needs to be blown up and framed so that it fits an entire wall. Consider this week Psych-Out week as every single day will feature another great image from this classic movie.

In this photo we have Jenny Davis (Susan Strasberg) watching her new lover Stoney (Jack Nicholson) rock out on guitar with his band Mumblin’ Jim in Richard Rush’s Psych-Out.

Reminder this is my video pick of the month for July (read the write up Lars did on Psych-Out here).

For fans of this film be sure and pick up Gary Kent’s new book, Shadows and Light, Journeys With Outlaws In Revolutionary Hollywood (details).

I recently saw this on the big screen at the Paramount Summer Film Series (official site) and experiencing the magic of Busby Berkeley in this outing cemented him for me as a true visionary and artist of musicals in cinema. The musical numbers of Berkeley live in a fantasy land void of CGI and breath with complex choreography and surreal stylization that brings out smiles and admiration. By breaking down walls and not trying to conform to the established confines of what a musical should be his numbers remain just as impressive today as they surely did then. I haven’t seen all the films he has been a part of but I’m certainly interested now to seek the rest out after seeing Footlight Parade and now Dames on the big screen! I do also need to rewatch Gremlins 2 again to see how close of a spoof there is of Dames in it.

Not everyday that a movie poster takes ridiculous and makes it look so damn cool!

For fans of Elliott Gould there is probably no poster alive that transmits him more as an action hero than this Japanese one for BUSTING!

The entire world seems to be exploding behind Elliott Gould and Robert Blake while luscious women dance in the foreground as if they haven’t a care in the world. Add all this up and you have one of the most outrageous and excellent posters of the 70’s.

Note to Fellow Bloggers
Now for all you fellow bloggers and fans of this movie who are looking to promote this film, I have set aside a special poster only version of this for you that is saved as a PNG file (download here). If you use this I do ask that you link back to my post here. Additionally if anyone needs this poster at a different size for promotion on their site please let me know. Usually when I do this I don’t get much credit back so if this goes well I’ll definitely consider doing this again in the future.
