tim buckley - pleasant street (The Christian Licorice Store)

tim buckley - pleasant street from the film "The Christian Licorice Store." The film takes it title from the lyrics of the song "Pleasant Street," written and performed by Tim Buckley. A selected part of the lyrics: "You don't remember what to say / You don't remember what to do / You don't remember where to go / You don't remember what to choose / You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down / All the stony people / Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes / I can't hesitate / And I can't wait / For Pleasant Street"


In one shot, in which Beau Bridges' character is preparing to shoot the hairspray commercial seen in the final sequence, the clapboard clearly reads "Title: The Christian Licorice Store; Director: J. Frawley".


Filmed in 1969 and shelved for two years.


Jean Renoir's final feature film, in a cameo appearance in which he discusses love and life with the film's stars Beau Bridges and Maud Adams. The scene featuring the director was mostly improvised.
