...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

Jeffers, Meditation On Saviors

Not wanting to repeat the same blunder that he made with Easy Rider, Terry made sure to get co-producing credit on End of the Road. When the film opened, Judith Crist, the most powerful film reviewer in New York at the time, summarily killed it by saying: 'Go see Patton instead�it just opened also, and is the kind of patriotic film this country needs right now in this time of national crisis.' End of the Road closed almost immediately, and the "X" rating made sure it stayed closed for good. Only Cinema Village, an art house in New York, played the film religiously throughout the �70s and early �80s�before the deteriorating 16mm print faded into oblivion.

Terry never worked on a major film again
