You've Got to Walk It Like You Talk It or You'll Lose That Beat

Drama / komedie, USA, 1971, 85 min.



Twenty-five-year old Carter Fields, an idealistic young man, is hindered in his pursuit to find the meaning of life by his domineering mother and the lunacy of living in New York City. One day, while walking in Central Park, Carter is attacked by a fat black girl, then watches in dismay as a young hippie exposes his bare bottom to a woman shouting obscenities. While seeking refuge in the men's room, Carter is badgered by a garrulous drunk and a singing woman dressed in black lace. Carter's attempts at finding sexual fulfillment are stymied by the fact that he suffers nosebleeds during intercourse. Depressed, Carter attempts suicide by hanging himself but fails in this endeavor, too. Carter then tries to find help in a group therapy session, but finds that his group is composed of an assortment of neurotics, including Herby Moss, the mastermind behind a gang of Campfire Girl pickpockets. Carter finally finds happiness when he marries a lovely woman named Susan, becomes a father and is hired by an exclusive Madison Avenue advertising agency. Carter's contentment is short-lived, however, because soon after, he is fired for being incompetent, after which Susan leaves him. Taking his baby to the park, Carter forlornly sits on a park bench, hoping that one day he can find meaning in the absurdity of the world around him.
