...trial as a kind of theatre, with its emphasis on role-playing, or at least he sees Jerry Rubin as an entertainter. "He is a smart guy when he says things like, 'Fuck is the only word we've got because no one will print it and no cop will say it in a courtroom.' But he's silly when he says the revolution is sex and music. If that's all it is, I've had that revolution and emerged victoriously. His sense of theatre is fantastic. He writes good material for himself. Jerry would like to think that...
...there is no preparation for the scene in the hour and a quarter preceding it. And, in the second act, the ambiguous resolution (of Robert's attitude towards marriage) has no real build-up-so little, in fact, that the ending comes as something of a jolt and a cop-out.

Anyone familiar with Scenarist Stirling Silliphant's television work (Route 66) knows his fondness for the stereotypic. In L.B. Jones he has added extra fillips: not only are there shuffling old Negroes sassing the massuhs between yassuhs, there are also satanic, mush-mouthed cops who are rapidly replacing the Indian as exemplars of tribal villainy. Mandatory violence is provided by scenes of the forcible rape of a black woman, the throat-slitting of a black man, and the lovingly detailed dens ex machina of a cop chewed to death by a threshing machine.
