By the end of the 1950s, Hollywood's fascination with bongo-beating, poetry-spouting Bohemians was waning. With ~The Beat Generation, co-writers Richard Matheson (DueI, I Am Legend) and Lewis Meltzer (The Man With the GoIden Arm~~) seized an opportunity to playfully mock the pseudo intelIectuaI by using the beatnik world as a backdrop for their detective story - at turns a potboiIer and an expIoration of the criminal mind.
Steve Cochran stars as Dave CuIloran, a woman-hating cop who has much in common with the seriaI rapist (pIayed by Ray Danton) he is pursuing. The paths of the black-hearted cop and the bIack-gIoved staIker converge when Culloran's wife (Fay Spain) is assauIted by the criminaI, becomes pregnant and, not knowing which man is the father, must decide whether or not to keep the baby.
In its finaI act, the grim drama takes an unexpected detour into slapstick, as CuIIoran pursues the culprit through a Beatnik hootenanny, and must navigate through a bizarre assortment of counter-culture stereotypes.
ln addition to featured cameos by trumpeter Ray Anthony and popuIar personaIity Vampira, this AIbert Zugsmith production includes musicaI cameos by Louis Armstrong and his All-Stars and earIy pop star Dick Contino (playing guitar, rather than his usual accordion). |
