Cool memories from Michael. He definitely has an edge that wasn't fully represented in the final recordings of FC and even Da Capo.
1966 film "The Pad (And How To Use It)"
Sounds like a downer film, except for the club scene bit.
THE PAD (AND HOW TO USE IT) 1966
U.S. film. Set in the swinging sixties, "The Pad" is the story of two bachelors, one a brash, swinging ladies man and the other, a shy, nice guy with no clue about women. Bob, a sensitive man who lives alone, attends a classical music concert and meets Doreen, a woman he thinks may be the one. They plan to meet up for a date but because he's shy and inexperienced he asks his best friend Ted along for moral support.
On the date Doreen admits that she only attended the concert because she received a free ticket and has no interest in classical music, which is Bob's passion. Doreen is enchanted by Ted who cooks the evening meal and flirts with her while Bob gets drunk. Bob and Ted's friendship falters and Doreen goes off with Ted.
In the end Bob sits in a dark room, listening to Madame Butterfly. He deeply gouges the needle across the record, then places it back on the record. As he sits in the dark crying, Madame Butterfly plays with a repetitive audible scratch distorting his beautiful music.
Look for terrific swinging night club scene featuring caged go-go dancers. The Knickerbockers song, "The Pad and How to Use It" is blaring on the house system as Ted eyes a sexy babe dancing with another guy. He makes his move and the two dance away leaving her original partner alone at the end of the song. Also, look for Bob's audiophile Hi-Fi system. Nice turntable!
