R.P.M.

R.P.M. (1970)

R.P.M. stands for (political) revolutions per minute. Anthony Quinn plays a liberal college professor at a west coast college during the hedy days of campus activism in the late 1960s. Radical students take over the college, the president resigns, and Quinn's character, who has always been a champion of student activism, is appointed president. As the students continue to push the envelope of revolution, Quinn's character is faced with the challenge of restoring order or abetting the descent into anarchy.

Curiozități

R. P. M. is a 1970 American drama film directed by Stanley Kramer, starring Anthony Quinn and Ann-Margret. As the film's poster notes, the title is an initialism for "revolutions per minute", which at the time was a common term for the variable speed of a record player's turntable and generally a unit of rotational speed for rotating machines. It is a reference to students' smoke-filled drinking parties and how in the 1960s students evolved politically so quickly that they went through many political revolutions in little time.

Production

The movie was filmed on location at the main campus of the University of the Pacific (UOP) in Stockton, California. The student "extras" were actual members of the student body of the university at that time.

It was the first film Ann-Margret made in the US for a number of years.
