Head
"A Hard Day's Night on acid" best describes this outrageous movie
within a movie starring recording superstars The Monkees. A stream-of-consciousness
script lands our fab four in a WWII foxhole dodging an excitable football
player, then later they are caught in a giant vacuum cleaner after being
sucked out of Victor Mature's hair as flecks of dandruff, and on and on
from one wild situation to another. The musical glue that binds Head together:
"Porpoise Song," "Ditty Diego--War Chant," "Circle Sky," "Can You Dig
It," "As We Go Along," "Daddy's Song," "Long Title: Do I Have To Do This
All Over Again," "Happy Birthday To You."
