July 7 1971 

TWO LANE BLACKTOP opens in New York. Directed by Monte Hellman. Written by Rudolph Wurlittzer and Will Corry. Minimilist, elemental road movie  forged in the counterculture furnace of early 1970s new Hollywood, with drifters James Taylor, Dennis Wilson and the great Warren Oates burning rubber on an existential highway to nowhere. With Laurie Bird.
