Saw a 1970-71 film called The Family about the Manson murders.  What struck 
me was the apparent vision of the filmmaker--a straight critic of the 
counterculture:  a desert scene, a rock concert, naked bacchinalia, etc, a 
shot of sharon tate (in color) dancing a waltz, a scharwzkammando 
mis-en-scene depicting marauding blacks in berets.

The flick really isn't about Charlie at all.  It's quite bad but intriguing.
