Featuring images of Warren Beatty and Alexandra Stewart. <br/><br/>Some say that the New Hollywood era began with "Bonnie and Clyde" in 1967 others say "Mickey One" in 1965.

Stan Getz laid improvisations onto the progressive and somewhat classical score for the film against the backdrop of a full orchestra. <br/><br/>Set in Chicago and shot on location there. <br/><br/>8 x 10 inches.
