Has anyone ever learned which movie with Jacqueline Bisset that Al saw and inspired him? Could it have been 'The Sweet Ride'? As a 1968 movie, this timing is close. She had 3rd billing so this looks like her first significant credit.

@10yearstoolate I always thought it was slightly later and referred to "The First Time".

@10yearstoolate That sounds like a better choice. That movie came out in Aug 1969. The next step is figuring out when Clifton was fist released. Best I can tell was the 1970 re-release of Bedsitter Images.
