Putney Swope along with a number of other films: Uptight, Zabrieski Point, The Spook who sat by the Door, Easy Rider, Midnight Cowboy, depicted the times of the big change of America like no other. No matter how much conservative America may want to pull the country back to the pre-60s these films show that the change became irreversible. Putney Swope has its problems(editing and much of the acting is amateurish)yet holds up well for being over forty years old. The topics still ring quite true. While viewing this one cant help but wonder if the folks that make the AMC show MADMEN are influenced by this film. The ending though funny has a politically horrific feel to it. The fact that Robert Downey is the father of one of Americas best and most popular movie stars adds to the entertainment. Enjoy. ...more
