The Happening (1967) - Part 1 of 5

[wilburbonzo]

these guys definitely aren't hippies, they look and dress too straight

[gorsian1979]

Colored films go back to late 1930's So Normally colored fims in 1960's must be advanced and clear .

[EricandDish]

Or motorcycle gang. See "Hot Rods to Hell" (which also came out in 1967 and the plot mirrors what occurs in this movie-the lead character getting harassed by two men and a blonde girl).

[friendofthefunk]

Not hippies. Those are mods.

[EricandDish]

You heard that Columbia/Sony came out with a bunch of their classic movies from the 1940's, 50's, and 60's on DVD...and it didn't include this film (they chose "The Love-In's"-another '67 film over this!). Why is that? Why are the studios still scared of releasing films that just slipped through the cracks? Case in point: Warner Brothers is still refusing to release "The Devils" and the same goes with MGM/UA over "A Thousand Clowns". Not all movies have to be "Casablanca."

[corthew]

Milton Berle was in this?

[mahoney755]

Where's Marky Mark in this movie!?!

[msjosephine2]

Pre-hippies, these are beat nicks!

[TempleBrook]

Michael Parks is so funny in this movie!!!! i wish he had a been in more movies!!!!

[saivee1]

im like it so much

[GrahamLondonUK]

Where are The Supremes?!

[smeduardo]

This movie has more mood swings than a wackjob!

[TheTrueMetal9]

hey what whas the movie about the plants adapting to kill human beings with some kind of invisible powder? i thought it was this title but now im just getting annoyed

[laflizard]

Haha, different movie with the same title.

[daven58100]

Actually, when this movie first came out, there was a title song by Diana Ross, with or without the supremes. I remember watching this when it first came on t.v.

[scotpens]

At exactly what point between 8:46 and 8:51 did Faye roll up her shirt?

[BNCA70]

I heard that a track on this movie was The Happening by the Supremes. Dunno if it's true.

[scotpens]

The Supremes' vocal version of the theme was a number 1 hit in 1967, but it isn't heard on the soundtrack of the movie.

[DelilahThePig]

Thanks for posting these sections. With your 1-5 and another poster's 6-end, I was able to piece together a DVD. This has been the most elusive films I have ever wished to view. It's not on DVD, VHS, laserdisc, Super8-- nothing! I was planning on waiting until the summer to record it off of TV, but you already did the work. Thank you so much!

[SMACKtoFACE]

wat do u mean not on DVD i got it

[DelilahThePig]

Are you referring to the 1967 film about hippy kidnappers or the 2008 blockbuster about mass suicide?

[KamauAmani]

Is this the old school version of the new one?

[DelilahThePig]

This is a silly teen movie about kidnapping, has nothing to do with science fiction.

[scotpens]

"Teen movie"? I'd say these characters look way overripe to be teenagers. They're a Hollywood screenwriter's idea of hippies. And I don't think teens were the intended audience either.

[irow03]

I love this movie!!! I have been looking for this movie everywhere.

[GraceJonesBoiis]

is the old verison better than the new version?

[fayedunawayfan]

Faye does a "Hippy-take" on Bonnie Parker pre-Bonnie. Worth watching to see early Faye nuances prior to her perfecting them in better roles.

[agentpf1101]

m night totally ripped this off!!
