Trying to remember the name of a movie...

[squeekster]

I’ve been trying my darndest to remember the name of a movie I saw a number of years ago, but I’m having no luck.

It came out in the 60’s or maybe the early 70’s. All I can really remember about it was that it was about a young kid that got himself elected president of the US and he put everyone over about 35 years old in concentration camps type settings.

Given the limited info, can anyone help me out with the title?

Thanks in advance.

You should be asking in Cafe Society.

However, the film you’re looking for is Wild in the Streets. Nice music score.

I thank you. And my brain thanks you.

Sounds like Wild in the Streets (1968).

From the plot summary:

Max Flatow is a precocious, social miscreant who has a way with home-made explosives. When he tires of these, he runs away from home only to emerge seven years later as Max Frost, the world’s most popular entertainer. When Congressman John Fergus uses Frost as a political ploy to gain the youth vote in his run for the Senate, Frost wills himself into the system, gaining new rights for the young. Eventually, Frost runs for the presidency. Winning in a landslide, he issues his first presidential edict: All oldsters are required to live in “retirement homes” where they are forced to ingest LSD, taking the 60s catch phrase “Never trust anyone over 30” to its most extreme consequences.
