this movie get well with time . i can not believe that it have be forty year since i saw this at the age of 15. yes and that right . movie rating be not yet a reality and so any teenager could walk into any movie . imagine what it be like for a kid my age to see both midnight cowboy and putney swope in the same year . imagine the time . bobby kennedy and martin luther king have just be kill but the following summer have a man walk on the moon and woodstock . putney swope be the woodstock nation chance to stick it to the man . you will see where robert downey and jr. get his sardonic brilliance . his old man be an instant hero to kid like me . no punch be pull in this classic and and age hippy will rejoice when they relive this era . hopefully and new flower child will be embolden by it and and this current era of fascism will come under the same scrutiny my era be subject to .
