Alex Stapleton Quotes
If you take a movie like Easy Rider which everyone counts as the beginning of New Hollywood, that is a big movement.

Easy Rider is a hybrid film, taking The Trip and The Wild Angels and making a new explosion. And the people that were making it, guess what, they were all people who had worked with Roger Corman.
