An American Hippie In Israel [1972]

From hitchaser.com: "While this feels like one of fake trailers from the Rodriguez/Tarantino 'Grindhouse,' I did a little bit of research and 'An American Hippie In Israel' is a real movie. But just barely. Made in 1972, by first (and last) time director Amos Sefer with an Israeli cast; American Hippie ('The Hitchhiker' in Hebrew) follows a Vietnam vet seeking to make a desert utopia that quickly devolves into hellish struggle for survival. Featuring bombastic dialogue, loads of gratuitous nudity, anti-Vietnam sermonizing, and (most inexplicably) killer mimes, 'An American Hippie in Israel' was so bad that as far as I know it's never received any kind of commercial release anywhere ever; living on only through a series of late night screenings at a single Tel Aviv theater in the 1980s. That looks to change soon as a company called Grindhouse Releases has announced plans to release this soon-to-be cult classic on DVD; though even now it still lacks a firm release date or even a movie poster."

Lots of nudity in the trailer below, and lots of sermons. If Ed Wood had ever made a hippie movie, he would have made this one.
