Wild in the Streets

Shelley Winters is the mother, and Bert Freed the father, from whom giant pop star Max Frost (Christopher Jones) ran away many years earlier, and they’ve just had big make-overs after realizing he’s rich and famous, looking to present themselves at a concert, in AIP’s Wild In The Streets, 1968.

Narration by the ever-authoritative Paul Frees, introduces the posse for super-rich pop star Max (Christopher Jones), Larry Bishop as Abraham, Kevin Couglin as Billy, Richard Pryor as Stanley, inspiring a song (by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil), early in director Barry Shear’s political-pop oddity from AIP, Wild In The Streets, 1968.

Senator Fergus (Hal Holbrook) hopes Mrs. Flatow (Shelley Winters), mom of pop-star turned politician Max (Christopher Jones), can get him to slow down his government take-over, but she’s tripping, while he, with advisors (Kevin Coughlin, Richard Pryor, Larry Bishop) plans his next move, in Wild In The Streets, 1968.

After several vignettes in which young Max grows up in a twisted household to become Christopher Jones, he makes good a threat to blow up his dad’s car then appears as pop star Max Frost, around whom the story will revolve, Barry Shear the director, narration by Paul Frees, in AIP’s Wild In The Streets, 1968.

Mega-rich pop star Max (Christopher Jones, with his band, Richard Pryor on drums!) has just barely agreed to appear in support of congressman Fergus (Hal Holbrook), who’s running for senator, because he supports lowering the voting age, and a new idea comes up, in WIld In The Streets, 1968.
