| Gary Lockwood in R.P.M. Year: 1970 Rating: **1/2 |
A year after Gary Lockwood was slightly too old to play a hapless hippie about to go to Vietnam, cruising around L.

| Gary Lockwood and Anthony Quinn in R.P.M. |
That's where star Anthony Quinn, hired as a kind of emergency dean/president, comes in: spending most of the picture either engaged in long discussions with comparably uptight university profs or hanging out with young girlfriend Ann-Margret, who, like Lockwood, has little to do but spout smug counter-culture platitudes in what feels more like a progressive TV-movie than a watered-down big-screen expose on college revolutionaries, hence the R. P. M. title standing for Revolutions Per Minute...
But there's only one revolution... that drags despite Lockwood having a few good monologues opening up to Quinn: yet the audience can't entirely relate to his plight/agenda since sympathetic left-wing director Stanley Kramer (and scriptwriter Erich Segal) never allow the characters to grow beyond clichés — on either side of the aisle.
