What happened to the riot?
16 August 2002
Poor Aldo Ray must've really needed the money. After a brief blush of success in the 1950s and early '60s, Ray, a sturdy, handsome actor, somehow spiraled down into cheap war movies and drive-in flicks like this one. Police lieutenant's wayward daughter is befriended by trouble-making hippies in Hollywood; soon, she becomes the victim of their sexual advances (although I didn't see her resisting all that much). Contrary to the film's title, there's very little fighting here--some picketing and shouting, but where's the riot? Worse than a relic of this by-gone era, "Riot on Sunset Strip" may go so far as to represent a world that never even existed. * from ****
