With The Trip, Roger Corman delves deep inside the mind of the artist. TV commercial director Paul Groves (Peter Fonda, The Wild Angels), with both his personal and professional life in crisis due to a crumbling marriage and stagnating career, begins to experiment with LSD to free himself artistically. Paul's trip provides the viewer with psychedelic and hallucinatory moments worthy of Fellini, as an onslaught of strange, beautiful and terrifying images flood Paul's subconscious and leads to a revelatory denouement. Featured in The Trip are Bruce Dern (co-star of the Corman directed The Wild Angels) as John, the self-proclaimed LSD guru who sends Paul on his trip; Susan Strasberg (Psych-Out) as Paul's estranged wife; and Dennis Hopper (Chattahoochee) as a drug-culture everyman. The Trip, written for the screen by Jack Nicholson (Psych-Out, Ironweed) would be one of several collaborations with mentor Roger Corman including The Little Shop of Horrors, The Raven and The Terror.

Based on Somerset Maugham's novel, this story follows the sensitive, club-footed Philip Carey (Leslie Howard) who gives up his artistic ambitions to enroll in medical school. At a local café, he meets the brash, manipulative, cruel and uneducated Mildred Rogers (Bette Davis), and falls passionately in love with her. When Philip proposes, Mildred declines, and berates him for becoming romantically interested in her. She tells Philip she will be marrying a loud, boorish salesman Emil Miller (Alan Hale) instead. Philip begins to forget Mildred when he falls in love with Norah (Kay Johnson), an attractive and considerate romance writer. But just when it appears that Philip is finding happiness, Mildred returns, pregnant and claiming that Emil has abandoned her. Philip breaks off his relationship with Norah to take care of Mildred. Has he made a mistake? How will all this end? This story is considered by many to be the most tragic romance story ever written! (82 minutes - 1934 - Black & White - 4 3).
