Beatniks? What beatniks? Two-bit punks, a closet rock-&-roll star, and an out-of-his-mind psycho: yes. Beatniks: no. Though The Beatniks was probably a last-minute title change to replace a less exploitable moniker, it didn't make much of a difference to the audiences of 1960. After all, to a world emerging from the Eisenhower era, bohemian artists and beat-generation poets were seen as little more than socially maladjusted misfits in the same category as junkies, Commies, and teenage hoodlums — or the petty-crime crackpots running loose in this fast, fun, and naively hilarious saga of an overage delinquent who becomes an overnight sensation.

Squares are squares. They don't move. They're stuck in one place. Beats are spheres. We roll. We wander. We learn new things all the time. Better to be Beat than Square.

The highlight of this movie, which I found for one dollar at a WalMart, is where the reformed beatnik becomes a singing star and on TV performs "Anything Your Heart Desires," I found out that the actor/singer is Tony Travis....great musical number...the bad beatnik went on to star in "The Big Valley," so they both reformed.....hee hee....

Beatniks were philosophical, musical, and rebellious people. They were very cultural. They studied philosophy and music.They desired to create their lives the way THEY desired to live.I neer knew them to be violent; but, the public was violent to them.

Paul Frees co-wrote, directed and narrated this mess! From Boris Badenov, to this film to John Lennon and George Harrison (in the Beatles cartoon)...something REALLY weird!

These thugs were not beatniks! Beatniks were a gentle poetic philosophical bunch.

Robert Pirsig wrote about the squares in his book Zen and the Art of Motocycle Maintenance. I think he did a pretty good job. It was only a couple small passages. Still, the squares were right, ultimately because the beats become the squares once they have won. It is sort of like the revolution in Syria right now. Yes, the people causing the stir are good, but only good until they have power. Once they have power, they will try to squash the bubbling movement that started everything

...what a load. The early audio-visual polit-building blocks which were used to help build the course which ends in the totalitarian-state-of-America: On which we now roll... A rolling stone has no power of its' own. None. It just sits there. Sinking into the mud. It only goes where it's pushed, pulled or carried: BY SOMEONE ELSE! It rolls what-ever way the hill sends it. And has absolutely no motive-power. Its just like a square- only shaped different...
