Overview

The film is 15 minutes in length and acts as both an introduction and a sample from the controversial John Herbert play Fortune and Men's Eyes, performed at the Coronet Theater in L.A. in 1969. The play was directed by Sal Mineo, who also rewrote and reshaped the play a bit. It follows Smitty, a young man sentenced to six months in prison for marijuana possession who eventually becomes the sexual subordinate of another inmate, Rocky.
