Rare Film: Allen Ginsberg & Neal Cassady

This is the first footage I've been able to find showing Neal Cassady talk to his great friend, Allen Ginsberg. The two men were very close and may at one time have been lovers (Neal's wife found Neal in bed with Allen and Neal's first wife LuAnne Henderson). Most people know that Neal was a great inspiration to Jack Kerouac and a number of other famous and beloved writers and artists from the American "beatnik" era.

This is the second of three videos. The first has a great poem read aloud by Allen, and the third is more of Neal talking.
