Also known as
Moritorium and
Georgia's Friends,
Four Friends follows the titular quartet from high school to young adulthood. The film is set during the tumultuous 1960s, an era when everyone's values were turned inside out, shaken around, and reassembled. The central character is first-generation American
Craig Wasson, who confounds his Yugoslavian father (
Miklos Simon) by pursuing his own let-it-all-hang-out lifestyle. Wasson's best friends are athlete
Jim Metzler and chubby
Michael Huddleston; all pursue the affections of bewitching
Jodi Thelan. Though they are obviously deeply in love with one another, Wasson and Thelan continue to foolishly avoid a long-term commitment as the sixties unfold around them.
Four Friends calls for a fresher approach than the one offered by director
Arthur Penn, whose handling of the material is much too pat and old-fashioned.
