Fascinating, baffling, confused and prescient -- sometimes all within the same scene. A true artifact of the late 60's. Unfortunately, because it was released by Universal Studios (often referred to as "The Movie Studio that hates Movies"), PRIVILEGE has been near impossible to see for decades. Still, never released on home video (shocking). Fortunately, the American Cinemateque just showed the ONLY existing print in the world. It was pretty ratty, with a constant hiss on the soundtrack, but at least it was shown. The idea of a pop singer turning into a national icon that transcends his commercial status is even more relevant today than in '67. The one major flaw of the film is Paul Jones' performance as the Singer Steve. He's just too dull and boring to be believed as the greatest Rock Star of All Time. See it if you can. And write those letters to Universal Studios and hope this gets released on video, soon.
