Larry Lapinsky: How are you?
Nick Kessel: Good.
Sarah Roth: Who is that?
Larry Lapinsky: It's Nick Kessler. He's a crazy guy. He saved up all his money to go to Mexico. Wanted to see the ruins. You know, get into the primitive thing. So, he quit his job and everything, and he took off for Mexico City on Monday. Two beers, Ray.
Sarah Roth: Yesterday Monday?
Larry Lapinsky: Right. So he got off the plane, and he ate a taco... and he got a terrible case of the shits... so he took the next plane back. He spent two and a half hours in Mexico. He says ...

One of four consecutive pictures that filmmaker Paul Mazursky made for the 20th Century Fox studio during the first part of his feature film directing career during the 1970s decade. The movies are [in order]: 'Harry and Tonto' (1974), 'Next Stop, Greenwich Village' (1976), 'An Unmarried Woman' (1978), and 'Willie & Phil' (1980). Each subsequent film was made about two years after the predecessor. See more »Goofs

I'm with the room, this film has been sadly overlooked as it was at the time of it's release (even Mazursky champion Pauline Kael was Luke warm) and deserves to be seen.
I think this sort of autobiographical film had sort of been overdone, so Mazurky's film was lumped in as "one of those." What was missed, I think, was his unsentimental, adult perspective on the time and place, on what it meant to be young and bright. He gives us something of what the beak nick world might have been like, unlike the silly portrayals done AT THE TIME.
Lenny Baker, in his only major lead, is excellent along with the entire cast. Christopher Walken makes an impression without the hamming that would later endear him to so many.
