Just Be There (1973) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 1973, Just Be There is a drame film directed by David Feldshuh, running about 95 minutes. “Mitchell, Mitchell, who are you... your parents' son, or your own man?” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Mitchell, a Vietnam veteran, returns home to Minneapolis with his girlfriend Kathy and intends to write a novel about his war experiences, but is pushed by his overbearing father into a job selling pork bellies at a commodities firm. Quickly promoted to vice president for his work during the day, while writing the novel at night, proves too much for Mitchell; fearing that he has "sold out," he takes off on his motorcycle to "get his head together" early '70s-style. Somehow, schlockmeister Jack H. Harris (producer of THE BLOB) took this film and re-released it as something sexy called SWINGING TEACHER.
