This cult favorite began as Francis Ford Coppola's UCLA thesis, ending up with a professional cast and nationwide release. Teen Peter Kastner undergoes his coming-of-age rites when, urged on by dad Rip Torn, he strikes out on own and moves to NYC. Every person Kastner meets is an eccentric's eccentric, from landlady Julie Harris to cop Dolph Sweet. Kastner's new friend Tony Bill, who works at the New York Public Library and accumulates pornography on side, introduces the boy to sex and drugs. Our hero truly matriculates to manhood after his heart is broken by disco dancer Elizabeth Hartman; he settles instead for Karen Black, still enough of an unknown quantity in 1966 to play against type as "the right girl". Adapted from a novel by David Benedictus, Big Boy is afflicted with usual youthful film-class fervor, crammed full of showoffish cinematic tricks that Coppola would eventually outgrow. But one can't deny that this seminal production is both heartfelt and energetic. To improve the film's saleability, distributors Seven Arts tacked on a music score by the Lovin' Spoonful, hardly necessary but very enjoyable appendange.

You're a Big Boy Now (1966)
I wrote the novel upon which this film was based, I worked on the various scripts with Francis, and I was present throughout the filming in New York. An amazing experience. Coppola had been working for a year with MGM writing scripts for them (he had got this job as a result of winning a nationwide literary competition) and had scripted Is Paris Burning? and Patton Lust For Glory, both of which Gore Vidal was supposed to be writing but Coppola travelled to Paris to help get scripts out of him. He had also written the screenplay of This Property Is Condemned, based on a Tennessee Williams short story, and (apart from the magnificent helicopter shot which starts the film) thought very little of it.
A sad memory is that Elizabeth Hartman who plays the sexy man-hater with great precision and style was to have a serious nervous breakdown after the end of her marriage and threw herself out of a window to her death. She was some actress and you may have seen her in The group and A Patch Of Blue (opposite Sydney Poitier)IMDB Reviewer,

As with most cult films, You're a Big Boy Now is definitely not for all tastes. Some will find it tedious, annoying, and empty, a technical exercise turned loose on a vapid story. Others will treasure it as a time capsule of 1960s filmmaking, extolling it for capturing the freedom of the times and for its youthful freshness and vigor. Both sides are right, for the young Francis Ford Coppola's experiments with editing and camera angles have an invigorating liveliness, but they also draw attention to themselves at the expense of telling the story. (Yes, sometimes the manner in which the story is told can be the story, but that's not the case here.) The screenplay is disjointed and sloppy, which is both endearing and irritating, and the film alternates between sequences that are spot on and others that are far off the mark. Still, several segments (Julie Harris and Rip Torn in the vault, the delirious climactic chase) are excellent, and if Peter Kastner is too bland in the lead role, the supporting cast is exceptional. Special praise goes to Torn, Harris, and Geraldine Page, and Elizabeth Hartman is quite good playing against type. Dated and at times silly, Big Boy has a youthful charm that most will find hard to ignore.Craig Butler, Rovi
