From Library Journal

This "serious, intriguing potpourri of film criticism" was originally published as Hollywood Films of the Seventies (LJ 2/1/84). The text covers films of the 1960s and the 1970s, when today's present crop of top-shelf directors (Scorsese, Coppola) were young mavericks just beginning to alter the face of American film.

This review is from: Born to Be Wild: Hollywood and the Sixties Generation (Paperback)

This book is really more of a collection of plot summaries for films during the counterculture. An interesting text to wet your appetite for films of that period, but nothing that enlightening in the text.
