Dennis Hopper plays a jive-talking beatnik on ‘Petticoat Junction’
New York bard Alan Landman (Dennis Hopper) arrives in Hooterville and knocks Bobbie Jo off her feet with his beatnik vibes and poetic reveries.
“What kind of poetry do you write?”
“My poetry is, um, a cry of anguish in the
tortured night.”
