In 1971, actor Jack Nicholson directed this film (but didn't star in it) and - due to the sexual theme and graphic male and female nudity - it was slapped with an "X" rating which resulted in major distribution difficulties. This is the story of Hector, a basketball player at a college in Ohio [obviously fashioned after Kent State], who finds himself getting pulled in many different directions at once. Hector is in the middle of a sexual relationship with the wife of a faculty professor. She is trying to decide whether to continue or break up with him. Meanwhile, his best friend Gabriel has dropped out of school and it about to be drafted to serve in Viet Nam.

This is one of three movies directed by Jack Nicholson. He also made "Goin' South' (1978) and "Two Jakes' (1990), but starred in both of them while not appearing in this one. Mr Nicholson has also claimed that he helmed 1963's "The Terror" which was officially attributed to Roger Corman. Others (Francis Ford Coppola, Jack Hill, and Monte Hellman) have also taken credit for directing that film.
