Director Shirley Clarke's once-banned Living Theatre film details with aching thoroughness the vigil of a group of addicts, a bored jazz quartet among them, waiting for the arrival of their heroin source. Their ordeal is chronicled by a documentary filmmaker (William Redfield), becoming an observation of both the drug culture and vérité cinema. The ensemble of largely unknown or non-professional actors includes Warren Finnerty, Barbara Winchester, and Roscoe Lee Browne. 102 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English.
