Storyline

Graduate student Harry Bailey was once one of the most visible undergraduate activists on campus, but now that he's back studying for his master's, he's trying to fly right. Trouble is, the campus is exploding with various student movements, and Harry's girlfriend, Jan, is caught up in most of them. As Harry gets closer to finishing his degree, he finds his iconoclastic attitude increasingly aligned with the students rather than the faculty.

No image crystalizes a particular moment in American cinema quite like a walrus-mustached Elliott Gould shouting down an authority figure.

RTDennis Schwartz Movie ReviewsJul 9, 2018

It's an irritating and shallow film that sends the wrong message on college protests and proves Hollywood has little understanding of the counter-culture movement.

Penelope Houston

RTThe SpectatorJul 9, 2018

A comedy so confused about having its campus cake and eating it that it emerges with some sticky mouthfuls liberally smeared over its face.

One of the few Hollywood films to deal with the students revolution, Richard Rush's Getting Straight, starring Elliott Gould, confuses broader political issues with sexual politics and getting laid
