BEEN DOWN SO LONG IT LOOKS LIKE UP TO ME (1971) 2178

Original Paramount Pictures One Sheet Poster (27x41). Folded. Fine Plus Condition.

Original Paramount Pictures One Sheet Poster (27x41) for the Jeffrey Young college life drama, BEEN DOWN SO LONG IT LOOKS LIKE UP TO ME (1971) starring Barry Primus, David Downing, and Susan Tyrrell. Based of the popular novel by Richard Farina, this film is a series of chapters in the life of a fairly unlikable young man in college in the late fifties. He experiments with drugs and free love, proceeds to party all the time, and disregards every rule. If the film had originally had better theatrical distribution or had been shown on TV more, it probably would have become a cult classic for its wonderful satire of some of the late fifties and early sixties "archetypes." Richard Farina was an interesting character in the history of the counterculture. Charismatic in his own right he married into folksinging royalty - twice! First to Texas folksinger Carolyn Hester and then to Mimi Baez, the beautiful younger sister of Joan and Pauline Baez. Farina only wrote one novel, but recorded with his second wife as Richard and Mimi Farina for Vanguard Records. Richard Farina was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1966. This original one sheet poster is in fine plus condition.
