Wild in the Streets,” a 1968 American dystopian comedy-drama film, stars Christopher Jones, Hal Holbrook, Richard Pryor, and Shelley Winters. Directed by Barry Shear, it’s based on Robert Thom’s short story “The Day It All Happened, Baby!”. Distributed by American International Pictures, the film, described as both “ludicrous” and “cautionary”, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Film Editing and became a cult classic of the 1960s counterculture. A soundtrack was released on Tower Records and became successful, peaking at No. 12 on the Billboard charts. Taken from the soundtrack and film, "Shape of Things to Come" (written by songwriters Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil) and performed by the fictional band Max Frost and the Troopers, was released as a single (backed with "Free Lovin' ") and became a hit, reaching No. 22 on Billboard.
