This is an extremely rare film, and one of the best movies to star Teen Idol Fabian; Here he plays a heroin addicted Con Man of the Road, shattering his squeaky clean image from his singing days… Never released commercially on any format, this is a rare opportunity to see this great Road Movie, from the early 1970’s…
Hi ali,
Can I ask how you were able to watch the film? my grandmother is on the soundtrack and I’m looking to find more about it.
