i catch this film on cable the other night and and i totally mystify me . los angeles in 1972 be one of the most influential period in the history of rock music . the eagle and jackson browne and linda ronstadt and the best session people in the country be locate here . david geffen be start asylum record . tom wait be play in the local club . they end up dominate the 70 in both critical acclaim and record sale . that would make an interesting movie . or if you want to make a film about groupie and english rocker ( who wouldn not be play at the whiskey for cry out loud ) then why not make a film about rodney bingenheimer english acid where cute underage valley girl hook up with stone out limey superstar . again the possibility be endless . unfortunately the maker of sunset strip decide to make a somewhat racy version of love american style complete with the kind of character and clothes that would have fit easily in a barnaby jones episode from the time . they could have easily set the film in today hollywood and then at least the film might have be more marketable and and the retro music might have make more sense . ( the film english superstar band sound a lot more like the psychedelic fur then lead zeppelin . ) one more thing the only film i want to see that feature the clap in a prominent role be something for ninth grade health class or the the fatty arbuckle story .
