Soon after, we learn that Hess is a serial rapist at large in Los Angeles. His modus operandi is to gain entry to the home of a married woman whose husband is away by pretending to be there to repay money loaned by the husband. Once inside, he feigns a headache, pulls out a tin of aspirin, and asks the woman for water. While she is distracted by this errand, he sneaks up behinds her, and then assaults and rapes her. He leaves the tin of aspirin behind as his calling card, leading the police to call him "The Aspirin Kid." Leaving the scene of the first assault portrayed in the film, he is nearly hit by a car. The driver, who is a police detective named Culloran (Steve Cochran), gives him a lift, and the two engage in conversation. The rapist calls himself Arthur Garret, and as the two talk, he learns that Culloran is married, and sees his address on an envelope on the car seat. After getting out of Culloran's car, he writes down the name and address, and the word "married," foreshadowing his later rape of Culloran's wife.
Leave your thoughts about The Beat Generation.
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperThis is obviously a decent script mangled by a very bad production. |
| The DissolveCraig J. ClarkWhat hurts The Beat Generation more than anything else is Charles Haas' failure to maintain a consistent directorial tone. |
| User ReviewGreg WGood for a saucy laugh. Filled with rape, murder, babies, blonde bomb shells, homosexuals, cops, beatniks, Louie Armstrong and scuba fight scenes. How can you not enjoy this? |
| User ReviewAllan CThis story of Mamie Van Doren and a detective's hunt for a sex maniac has little to do with Kerouac and Ginsberg, but everything to do with campy exploitation. It's a terrible movie, but it's entertaining if you're in the mood for some camp. You also get Robert Mitchums son James , pin-up queen Irish McCalla, Vampira as a beat poet , and character actor William Schallert in an uncredited role. |
