Love in a 4 Letter Word
1970 Candy Greene
Harry Haven (MICHAEL KANE), a film editor, has watched the growing outspokenness of youth's rebellion with interest and profit, using their battle with authority as the grist for documentary TV films. As a result, he becomes more detached and critical of the new world around him as well as of his family.
The passion of his marriage has cooled and Vera (HELEN WHYTE), his wife, has erotic dreams in a world without Harry. Susan (CANDY GREENE), their 18-year-old daughter, is becoming more assertive as her natural adolescent rebellion grows. The pattern is destroying a relationship with her father that was once close and affectionate.
Suddenly, Harry's life is confronted with reality; two hippies, Walt (ANDRE LAWRENCE) and Pierre (PIERRE LETOURNEAU), open a music store next to his home and studio and they are soon joined by a hippie girl named Sam (KAYLE CHERNIN). Pierre begins dating Susan. Their love-making is free and uninhibited.
Harry, aware of what is going on, forbids Susan from. seeing the boys and one night, in search

of his daughter, attends a wild party at the music store. Somebody slips a drug into his drink and Harry takes off on a bizarre trip where his sexual frustrations are primitively revealed. The following morning Susan leaves home after a final confrontation with Harry. Finding this the last straw, Vera berates Harry as unfeeling and callous.
In an effort to turn back the clock, Harry goes off to consummate a love affair with Louise (MONIQUE MERCURE), a co-worker. Being drunk, he fails. He also fails at an attempt at suicide. Vera has decided to make her move and goes to the music store on the pretext of looking for Susan. Actually she is attracted by Walt's young virility. She sees him as a means of unleashing the urges repressed for many years. She succeeds.
Pierre, disgusted with Walt's' behavior, prevents Susan from discovering her mother when she returns to the store. Pierre and Susan leave to start life elsewhere. After throwing Sam out of the store, Walt returns to Vera and the sensual awakening they have discovered.
Meanwhile, Harry who has been trying to reach his home, learns that he actually has no home to which to return.
