Dusty and Sweets McGee (1971)
Directed by Floyd Mutrux
Wishing to cash in on the youth market, Warner Bros. financed director Floyd Mutrux’s film about two young drug addicts, adrift in late 1960s Los Angeles without approving a script. Virtually plotless, and starring mostly amateur actors, Mutrux’s film meanders through sun-drenched, shiny urban landscapes, while its denizens wander from one fix to the next, spiritually dead.

Cinematographer: William A. Fraker. Editor: Richard A. Harris. With: Tip, Nancy, Beverly, Mitch, Larry.
