Wikipedia: “
Rainbow Bridge
is a 1971 film directed by
Chuck Wein
about different
countercultural
figures interacting on the Hawaiian island of
Maui
. He described it as “a kind of space-age
Candid Camera
.
We’re going to place Pat [New York model Pat Hartley, the protagonist] in all kinds of real-life situtations, and film what happens. We’re
going to shoot a lot of film and just see what comes out of it.”
Harry Shapiro
adds, “the idea was to shoot an antidote to
Easy Rider
, showing the positive side of the youth movement.”
Filmed with non-professional actors and without a script, it
features improvised scenes with a variety of characters. When it became
apparent that it was floundering, producer
Michael Jeffery
brought in his client
Jimi Hendrix
to film an outdoor concert (July 30, 1970). Hendrix’s heavily edited
(no complete songs) performance appears near the end of the film.
Rainbow Bridge
was a critical failure and has been re-released on video tape and DVD
formats. Although it only contains 17 minutes of Hendrix performing, it
continues to attract attention as his second-to-last American concert
and the last one filmed.
