''End of the Road'' is a 1970 film directed, co-written, and edited by Aram Avakian and adapted from a 1958 novel by John Barth, and stars Stacy Keach and Harris Yulin. The film was given an X rating for an abortion scene, and other frank scenes including one in which a man rapes a chicken. The film won the Golden Leopard at the Locarno International Film Festival. A nine-page ''Life Magazine'' article was published on Aram Avakian and ''End of the Road'' on November 7, 1969. Avakian was also interviewed at length in ''Playboy'' and ''Esquire''. ''End of the Road'' is a ground-breaking early indie picture. Many of the cast and crew went on to distinguished careers. The film gained a cult following at art movie houses across the U.S., where audiences would speak aloud the lines while they watched the midnight screenings. In 2012 it was released again (DVD) from a brand new original print struck from a pristine negative by Warner Brothers, as part of a series of re-discovered cinematic treasures in their archives. The director Steven Soderbergh rediscovered the film, spearheaded its revival, and made a companion documentary, ''An Amazing Time: A Conversation About End of the Road''. ==Cast== *Stacy Keach as Jacob Horner *Harris Yulin as Joe Morgan *Dorothy Tristan as Rennie Morgan *James Earl Jones as Doctor D *Grayson Hall as Peggy Rankin *Ray Brock as Nurse Dockey and the Sniper 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「End of the Road (1970 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
