FIVE EASY PIECES opens. Directed by Bob Rafelson, from a screenplay by Carole Eastman (as Adrien Joyce). Star-making performance by Jack Nicholson as self-loathing, musically prodigious scion of an upper class family who forsakes the stifling trappings of privilege forever in lockstep with familial expectations for the numbing, rootless anonymity of a blue collar existence of an oil rig labourer. Karen Black wins Best Supp. Oscar. With Susan Anspach, Sally Struthers and Ralph Waite.
