Greaser's Palace (1972)

Bizarre hybrid of religious allegory, Western and underground scatcom doesn't quite come off, despite some wonderfully whacked-out moments and a game cast. It's really something in the beginning, but the novelty begins to wear down and I got the sense that director Robert Downey didn't have enough material to make the movie he wanted to make. More focus might have helped. Also, what was up with the beleaguered girl in the desert in my opinion. The scene where she pulls an arrow out of her leg was probably the film's funniest, but really. Come on.

Grade: C+
