About this product

Product Information

In what is widely considered to be even better than the Broadway stage musical, this film version of HAIR, directed by Milos Forman, gives a boost to what was, on the stage, a nonexistent plotline, and highlights the already fabulous score with this epic musical. Filmed on location in and around New York City, the main plotline follows Claude (John Savage) a farm boy turned draftee from Oklahoma on his way to Vietnam. In New York, he is adopted by a group of flower children, led by Berger (Treat Williams) and including Jeannie (Annie Golden), who take him on a series of counter-cultural adventures that introduce Claude to hallucinogens and to a flaky but loveable debutante named Sheila (Beverly D'Angelo). Along with this experience come an introduction to issues of race, gender, politics, and war. The performances--both the acting and the singing--are extraordinary, and choreographer Twyla Tharp stages some of the most inventive and exquisite dance sequences ever seen, including a "horse ballet" by mounted police in Central Park, and an LSD trip-fantasy sequence. The sheer visual energy in HAIR--and the energy of its stars--propels this unique and nostalgic film forward every minute, and gives new insight into the Vietnam War era.

  • Mixed Feelings About Hair

    For years I have heard the critics say what a bad movie Hair was, so I wasn't expecting it to be great, and it wasn't. But it was better than I expected. I bought it because I knew Cheryl Barnes gave an incredible performance of the song, "Easy To Be Hard." That song was the best part of the movie. She buried Three Dog Night's version of that song, and Three Dog Night is an amazing band. The worst part of the movie was leaving out the song, "Frank Mills." As far as I know, Frank Mills never made the charts, but I think it's a great song. I admit that in my youth, I listened to the sound track over and over, but I've never seen the play. Perhaps I wouldn't be as positive about the movie if I had. It is worth watching for the songs they do include, including "Donna, and yes, especially for "Easy To Be Hard."

  • DVD HAIR

    I am neither Siskel or Ebert. Would I be rating a movie that is over 40 years old. I ordered the DVD because I did enjoy the movie way back then. The DVD arrived in a timely manner. The disc was in great condition. I still (after Althea passing years) enjoyed the movie. And it was a great value.

    Just neutral on the movie when compared to the stage play but the music is a good memory.

    Having seen the original play in New York, the movie follows the same format, and keeps you entertained thru the whole movie. Having been in the 1970's I feel this movie captured the moment aside from the movie script, including the ever-so-present drugs of the period, the Viet Nam war, and of course the music. The music is outstanding, and Treat Williams is fantastic. If you want to go into a time warp of the 70's with this movie, get it and enjoy it like we do. Great movie!!!!!!1

  • Hair!! timeless movie, in tie-dye!

    Hair - a great "period piece'! ...especially for someone who came of age in the 60's. Great music, compelling anti-war story - If you're a Treat Williams fan, you'll really enjoy this!!

  • Hair - the unfulfilled promise of the 60s

    What happened to the promise of "The age of Aquaris?" Fun, if you are of my age group. If not then watch the ending. (smile)

  • Entertaining flashback of the hippie culture with great songs

    Heard the soundtrack and liked the music so I had to see the movie too. Not all the songs from the soundtrack were in the movie, but it was fun to watch. Frank Mills was one song that the movie didn't play. If you live in New York, you can see a lot of familiar sights.

  • This is the dawning of a good time.

    This is a film I saw at the dawn of the home video revolution in the 80's and saw it again on TCM a few months ago. I was dismayed to learn it was out of print on DVD until I saw your listing so thank you.
