Riot On Sunset Strip (1967) -- (Movie Clip) Invasion Of Longhairs First scene for top-billed Aldo Ray as LA cop Lorimer, reasonable but not satisfying reporter Stokes (Bill Baldwin), then grumbling with pal Tweedy (Michael Evans), before we glimpse his unspecified link to Andy (Mimsy Farmer), hanging with pals at a dicey joint, in Riot On Sunset Strip, 1967.
Riot On Sunset Strip (1967) -- (Movie Clip) Another Troubled Weekend Andy (Mimsy Farmer) with her inebriate mom (Hortense Petra, wife of producer Sam Katzman), whom she dared not call when she got arrested, then watching her estranged police officer father (Aldo Ray) on TV, then back to the club, Larry Tamblyn leading The Standells with another original tune, in Riot On Sunset Strip, 1967.
