Running time
Sam's Song is a 1969 drama film directed by Jordan Leondopoulos and starring Robert De Niro.[1]

Plot
A political filmmaker finds himself in Long Island for a weekend where he finds himself entangled with a high-living, jet set crowd. At first it is exciting, but soon he finds himself disillusioned by their shallowness.
Analysis and reception
The film was described as "a European-influenced movie".[4] New York Magazine commented: "Dull, dull movie about a film editor is salvaged somewhat by early De Niro performance".[5]
