''Taking Off'' is a 1971 film comedy. It was Czech director Miloš Forman's first American film. It tells the story of a group of parents whose children have run away from home. The parents take the opportunity to rediscover their youth. It features a number of set pieces, including an open-mic record label audition which is woven throughout the film, featuring a number of female singers (including a young Carly Simon and an acoustic ballad by a then-unknown Kathy Bates) performing old standards, folk ballads, and rock songs; a meeting in which a group of generally middle-class conservative parents are taught how to smoke marijuana; and a raucous game of strip poker played by the adults. It was written by Forman in collaboration with John Guare, along with Jean-Claude Carriere and John Klein. Part of the movie also takes place at a Tina Turner concert. ==Cast== * Lynn Carlin - Lynn Tyne * Buck Henry - Larry Tyne * Georgia Engel - Margot * Tony Harvey - Tony * Audra Lindley - Ann Lockston * Paul Benedict - Ben Lockston * Vincent Schiavelli - Schiavelli * David Gittler - Jamie * Ike Turner - Himself * Tina Turner - Herself * Linnea Heacock - Jeannie Tyne * Rae Allen - Mrs. Divito * Frank Berle - Committee Man * Philip Bruns - Policeman (as Phillip Bruns) * Gail Busman - Nancy Lockston * Carly Simon - Audition Singer * Kathy Bates - Audition Singer (as Bobo Bates) * Shellen Lubin - Audition Singer 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「Taking Off (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
