    • Quotes

      Dr. Jonathan Barnett: You know, when I heard Larry use the words "a friend", "someone who understands you", I didn't realise he was introducing me. I was expecting to see the Chief of Police. Not that I'm putting down the Establishment, I wouldn't do that for the world. After all, do they tell us what we should believe? No, of course not. I'd even go on record and say they don't care what your beliefs are - providing they don't conflict with theirs.

      Dr. Jonathan Barnett: [he continues] And yet we of the Western World are supposed to be free people. Free to live as we want; free to love as we want; free to dress as we want. But are we given these freedoms? No, of course not. Society wants us to conform to a pattern which would make us all become vegetable. We must not let this happen. We must not conform. And we will definitely not become vegetable!

      Dr. Jonathan Barnett: [he continues] The Establishment has left us a world full of strife, prejudice and avarice, not unlike the Roman Empire before its decline. Yet all the legions of Tiberius, Caligula and Nero could not still the ringing truths of the underground voice of those great dissenters, the early Christians. Nor could the voices of Moses, Buddha or Muhammad be stilled, so be it. And we shall not be stilled. We shall not be stilled, for we know the answer. We know that with the world the way it is in today, we must love. We must share. We must not harbour any bitterness nor practise any violence. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt love they neighbour.

    6/10
    Dragnet meets Timothy Leary
    If Jack Webb were to write/direct an "expose" of Timothy Leary and the LSD/Hippie movement, what would it look like? The 1967 film 'The Love Ins' doesn't share any of the same credited writers or directors with the 1950s and 60s TV series Dragnet.

    Still, the one dimensional, stereotypical characters: hypocritical, "square" parents clashing with reckless, self-absorbed young adults, intolerant jocks, a greedy promoter and a cult leader with a messiah complex combined with the "it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt" plot line (and subplots), will have you flashing back to the classic TV series.

    That said, this film does have some historic, and even artistic, value as it retells the age old tale of an idealistic movement falling prey to pride and corruption.
