Mondo Hollywood

and wearing a THONG! Yeah, bet THAT kid grew up just FINE!

A Hollywood slice-of-life that is more of a surgical biopsy; probing the underbelly of a culture in the process of changing everything.

Filmed during a critical time and place when the seeds of change were planted leading to a cultural explosion unrivaled since the Renaissance. Originally released BEFORE the defining events of the "hippie generation", this documentary is an insightful precursor. The 2005 release (shown here) includes a prologue and postscript; with a warning from the Ministry of Information, France:
". . . a danger to the mental health of the public by its visual aggressivity & the psychology of its editing."

Favorite movie quote (probably paraphrased): "An artist must go too far before the rest of us can go far enough." ~ Sartre

P.s.: this info is noted in the postscript of the 2005 release shown here (along with interesting updates on various other people). See 1 other reply

That sums it up for me!

Both a (future) murderer and murder victim are in this film [from IMDB]:

"Bobby Beausoleil was a member of the infamous Charles Manson family, and is serving a life sentence in prison for murder. Fellow cast member Jay Sebring was one of the victims murdered along with Sharon Tate by the Manson family at Tate's Los Angeles home in 1969."

Title	Mondo Hollywood (1965)
Runtime	1 hr. 59 min.
Studio	SnagFilms
Genres	News and Information
Description	The underground cult classic documentary of the psychedelic 1960s. Closeups of stars, including Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Ronald Reagan, Frank Zappa, Sean Connery, Brigit Bardot, Alfred Hitchcock, Bobby Beausoleil of the “Manson Family,” imprisoned for life for murder, and Jay Sebring - victim of the Mansons. Personal insights by surfers, skydivers, LSD gurus, hippies, peaceniks, protest-singers, rightwing politicians, eccentric multi-millionaires and transvestites. Denounced as “bizarre prophecy” by the critics. Invited to open the 1968 Avignon & Venice Film Festivals, but banned by the French Ministry of Information as a “danger to mental health” and an “apology for certain perversities, including drugs and homosexuality.” Characterized in CIA files as “pro-Communist.” Refused exhibition in Communist nations as “glamorizing Capitalism - too many cars and swimming pools.” Described by UNESCO social scientist S. Friedman as “...a vivid, warm & humorous image of people ... confronting the eternal American dream.... It may well be that we are at the eve of a profound social and moral revolution.” Written, Produced & Directed by Robert Carl Cohen, renowned for his pioneering documentaries. The Mondo Hollywood Music Director, Mike Curb, was later elected Lt. Governor of California in 1978 despite being falsely accused of “singing falsetto in a bathtub scene in the film with two lesbians.” Its original sound track is performed by the Mugwumps, Davy Allen and The Arrows.
