No, it wasn't bad, but it took itself very seriously so it's not surprising that a staid publication like Halliwell reviews it as boring. Anyone with personal memories of those times would probably see it as a more or less accurate (but melodramatic) reflection of the attitudes of many 1960s college students.In general, Halliwell is my bible for films produced by the major Hollywood studios from the 1930s to 1950s. He had a good feel for the studio films of that golden era, however his coverage of silents is very sketchy, and after 1960 he just loses the plot altogether (except for big budget films). I don't think he ever liked or "got" modern films, especially independent productions, and that bias still continues.
