De knappe Emma Woodhouse doet niets liever dan andere mensen aan elkaar koppelen. Zelf wordt ze niet verliefd zegt ze. Dat past niet bij haar karakter. Voor het geld hoeft ze niet te trouwen; haar vader is erg rijk. Met name haar vriendin, de naïeve Harriet Smith moet eraan geloven. De ene na de ander man wordt aan haar voorgesteld, maar steeds slaat Emma de plank mis met alle gevolgen van dien. ( Bron: ncrv.nl )

I know, because I was there. The earthy music, the flower children, the wacky clothes and painted cars, the ready availability of sex and drugs – it is hard to think it all took place 40 years ago.”Be happy, be free, wear flowers, bring bells,” read the advertisements which summoned the young people of California to a three-day party which broke every rule in the book. Those who were not part of that 200,000-strong Monterey crowd are apt to peg the coming of age of pop to the Woodstock music festival a couple of years later – but no, it was in this hitherto well-mannered San Francisco suburb that a youth revolution was born from which the world is still reeling. Monterey was the first real rock festival. Jimi Hendrix, The Byrds, The Mamas And The Papas attracted an audience which could not wait to shed their inhibitions, along with their clothes.
