Flap (1970)
Director: Carol Reed
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A feeble comedy. Quinn reprises his primitive savage-with-savvy bit as the drunken Indian who inaugurates a public relations war for Indian rights, Red Power. Reed's leaden direction and the script's poetry-as-prose language trivialise every issue the film touches upon. Even the wonderful idea of lassooing a helicopter is thrown away.Author: PH
