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

Ends in an unconvincing pat way after much tragedy.
Arthur Penn's saga is too episodic and the acting is uneven, but film's scope is ambitious, the issues socially relevant, and it centers on a new type of Amrican heroine, one in love with all her husband's friends--call is menage a quatre.
Some say this is a better-than-average film that effectively captures the tumultuous sixties and the young folks who were caught up in the craziness of it all. I don't see it.

Steven Teisch's outstanding screenplay charts one young man's coming-of-age during the 1960s amidst a swirl of changes.
Great movie. A favorite.

What starts as a rather humdrum coming-of-age film transforms into a profound view on human emotion and life choices. This metamorphosis occurs halfway through during one of the most shockingly abrupt changes in overall tone I have ever seen, adding a large dose of dark comedy to this touching drama.
