The Beat Ain't All That Great, 25 January 2007
5/10
Author: Hitchcoc from United States

Sometimes things are so dated and out of the mainstream that they are hard to get into. While the acting was pretty good and the plot, like Hitchcock's rope, is OK., there is something really passe about this movie. I appreciated seeing a young Peter Falk. He has always been a favorite of mine. But the disjointed slangy dialogue and sort of insincere flattery doesn't work for me. On the other hand, we don't have much of a film history of the beat. That was interesting. It was the poets, mumbling semi-nonsensical verbiage; the bongo drums; all that. It is about the hanger's on. Maybe they were hangers on, even in the middle of it all. Oh well. It was interesting. As a caricature of the early fifties, it does OK.
