Richard Rush was an American film director known for films such as Psych-Out (1968).
Jack Higgins was a best-selling author of thrillers and espionage novels. His novel The Eagle Has Landed (1975) was adapted into the 1976 movie of the same title.
Richard Howard was an American poet, literary critic, essayist and teacher. As translator, he was known for translations such as The Fantastic: A Structural Approach to a Literary Genre (1970).
Marvin J. Chomsky was an American director and producer.
He is known for products such as Roots (1977) and Holocaust (1978).
George Crumb was an American composer known for such compositions as Black Angels (1971). Black Angels is featured in “Confessions of a Vinyl Junkie” (2003), a list of records by David Bowie published in Vanity Fair.
Mariano Laurenti was an Italian film director known for his work in the commedia sexy all’italiana genre.
In that genre he directed several films in the ‘decamerotico’ subgenre, like the one above.
Ubalda, All Naked and Warm (1972) is nothing more than one big excuse to show the naked breasts of Edwige Fenech and Karin Schubert.
E. O. Wilson was an American writer, biologist and naturalist best-known for his book Sociobiology: The New Synthesis (1975).
This book met with great criticism from the political left. In Not in Our Genes (1984) these opponents rejected sociobiology and expressed their desire for a socialist society.
There is a film Sociobiology: The Human Animal (1977) by the BBC. I show it supra. It features interviews with Wilson and his main opponent, Lewontin, co-author of Not in Our Genes.
Richard Lewontin was an American evolutionary biologist noted for many things, but also for opposing Sociobiology: The New Synthesis (1975) by E. O. Wilson, co-writing Not in Our Genes (1984), in the preface of which is stated:
“We [Richard Lewontin, Steven Rose, and Leon Kamin] share a commitment to the prospect of the creation of a more socially just—a socialist—society. And we recognize that a critical science is an integral part of the struggle to create that society, just as we also believe that the social function of much of today’s science is to hinder the creation of that society by acting to preserve the interests of the dominant class, gender, and race.”
Eric Carle was an American artist, illustrator, and writer of children’s books.
Carle’s picture book The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been translated into more than 66 languages and sold more than 50 million copies.
Monte Hellman was an American film director known for his cult films.
I remember seeing Two-Lane Blacktop (1971) on the Moviedrome cult movies programme.
I’m fond of road movies and suddenly I am reminded of C’était un rendez-vous (1976) by Claude Lelouch, the short film that plays in Paris and where the race ends at the Sacré-Cœur.
Another road movie of particular interest is Vanishing Point (1971) with the unforgettable part of DJ Super Soul.
