Plot Summary
In the directorial debut of Jack Nicholson, we see Hector (William Tepper, Bachelor Party), the star of the college basketball team, drift through sexual relationships, including one with his professor’s wife, Olive (Academy Award® nominee Karen Black, 1970, Best Supporting Actress, Five Easy Pieces). He also has to deal with his rebellious hippie roommate, Gabriel (Michael Margotta, Can She Bake a Cherry Pie?), who is trying to dodge the Vietnam War and who constantly gets in trouble. Also featuring Academy Award® nominee Bruce Dern (1978, Best Supporting Actor, Coming Home), Drive, He Said is a compelling look at a time of sexual promiscuity and political unrest.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: All of the film's characters, and all of the performances, are touched with the kind of unexpected sensibility and decency that are rare in most films of this genre.
Fresh: Nicholson deftly illustrates the background cynicism of big time sports against the more obvious cynicism of college life.
Fresh: A disorganized but occasionally brilliant movie about two college students and the world they, and we, inhabit.
Rotten: Jack Nicholson's first venture into direction is very much a film of its time.
