What is It's a Bikini World / Angel, Angel, Down We Go about?

IT’S A BIKINI WORLD, 1967, MGM Repertory, 86 min. Dir. Stephanie Rothman. Originally a Schindler-designed L.A. version of the Broadway theater watering hole Sardi’s, then the incredible Zardi’s Jassland, the Haunted House is definitely the star of this movie. ANGEL, ANGEL, DOWN WE GO (aka CULT OF THE DAMNED), 1969, MGM Repertory, 103 min. Robert Thom scripted and directed this jaw-dropping hymn to purple prose and psychedelic nihilism. Washed-up star Astrid (Jennifer Jones), her jaded millionaire spouse (Charles Aidman) and their searching-for-meaning daughter (Holly Near) all have the misfortune to meet Machiavellian pop star Bogart Peter Stuyvesant (Jordan Christopher) who worms his way into the household with his band, The Rabbit Habit, in tow. While occasionally belting out catchy songs by Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil, and with the help of plenty of LSD, he alternately charms and intimidates everyone in this dysfunctional family.
