Review of R.F.D. Greenwich Village

. . . an uncredited male narrator breathlessly reaches a fever pitch in his rousing recounting of the "Big Apple's" main killing field of the 1960s, R.F.D. GREENWICH VILLAGE. From one fevered Saturday Night to the next, the voiceover dude traces the pitched battles then raging between the established "Cotton Kings" and the upstart "Princes of Polyester." In order to preserve its PG-13 Rating, R.F.D. GREENWICH VILLAGE does not dwell upon the bloody massacres launched by Cotton King honcho "Charlie Manson" or Polyester Princeling "Ronnie Ziegler." The narrator makes a passing reference to the "hangings and potter's burials" then running rampant in Washington Square Park. However, the musical tracks backing R.F.D. GREENWICH VILLAGE constitute a dead giveaway of the camp in which its producers' sympathies lie. Viewers are treated to many of Gen. Manson's Heavy Metal hits, without so much as a note of Col. Ziegler's Disco Dances. Though we catch a fleeting glimpse of Ron Junior's fatal East River swan dive that ended the Metropolis War of the Threads, I agree with most reviewers that this climactic incident is better documented in A BRIDGE TOO FAR.
