I'm not sure what he is doing in this counter-culture stoner comedy, but he does it so well. Two minutes near the beginning is enough to make it essential for this project.


Jay's first "Starring" role is in this low budget horror film, written and produced by his buddy L.Q. Jones.

The first of his many collaborations with Paul Newman. Strother has an interesting role in a cast full of great actors.
