Dealing: Or the Berkeley-to-Boston Forty-Brick Lost-Bag Blues (1972)

It’s a strange “drugs for something” film that wants to tell a story but doesn’t know what tone to approach the material in. At a compact 88 minutes, the acting appears to rise above Douglas and Michael Crichton’s script which is there (their novel) but evaporates into boredom and confusion halfway through. “Dealing” features early roles for Barbara Hersey, John Lithgow (with a head full of hair) and Robert F. Lyons.
