Riot on Sunset Strip (1967)


LA bad-girl (Mimsy Farmer) gets involved with a gang of drugged-out hippie scum, much to the annoyance of her policeman father (Aldo Ray).

This film was the Reefer Madness of its day, and ridiculing the love and peace generation was an easy target (so all the hippies are doped-up Nazis!).

Inspired by the real-life Sunset Strip riots. The soundtrack is by local garage kings The Standells, who are seen in the film performing (along with The Chocolate Watchband) at Pandora's Box on the Sunset Strip.
