His first feature-length film, which was premiered at the 1968 Venice Film Festival, in a book format that is specifically designed to be a collectible keepsake. The story of real-life brothers Julius and Peter Orlovsky, who appear as themselves, together with a now-legendary all-star cast led by Allen Ginsberg (Peter's lifelong lover), the great avant-garde theatre director Joseph Chaikin as well as the great character actor Christopher Walken and the young playwright/actor/writer Sam Shepard in their iconic film debuts. "Everything that had defined Frank's art up to that point is packed into this film: The view of America from the outside, the placement of the marginal in a central role, the poetic libertinage of the Beats. The story, which takes place during the showing of another film in a rundown movie theater, weaves together opposites, playing the counterfeit against the authentic, pornography against poetry, acting against being, Beat cynicism against hippie Romanticism, monochrome against color. Celebrates the poetic essay, affirms the underground and the assemblage form, and packs in some bizarre twists and turns" (Publisher's blurb).
