Hair

Hair (1979) starring John Savage, Treat Williams, Beverly D'Angelo. Directed by Milos Forman. Attempt to bring 1968 stage play to film, really doesn't try too hard to replicate the play, but instead makes many changes, and consequently fails. Some of the songs are enjoyable to hear again, but the plot of the movie is really not much to brag about. Savage plays a young man who is entering the Army and is headed to Vietnam, Williams is the head of a band of hippies that Savage hooks up with, and D'Angelo is Savage's romantic interest. To the credit of the DVD, it does have English subtitles to aid the hearing-impaired, and even the songs are subtitled. Grade: C
