REQ SOURCE for: "Glen and Randa" (circa 1971)

Does anybody know of a source for the post-nuclear holocaust movie
"Glen and Randa" from around 1971? (It should not be the similarly
named "Glen or Glenda" because *that* one deals with sexual confusion
experienced by some kind of a transgenderized-person, while *this* one
deals with a bunch of countryfolk struggling to survive after a thermo-
nuclear war.)

This post-nuclear holocaust movie is supposedly about this band of semi-
nude hippies wandering around in Idaho seeking some kind of a mythical
ocean where there might be an endlessly bountiful source of water. So,
this is kind of like the opposite of "Waterworld" with very little budget
to go on. For instance, there is supposed to be a shot of a tree growing
up through a car surrounded by weeds and brush and stuff. The semi-nude
(?) heroine is a pregnant woman, and her boyfriend scrambles around for
bugs and insects from local mudpuddles to scarf down, while she chomps
away on sparse clumps of grass like a horse, as food is so hard to come
by. (?)

They stumble across a a cult that chants "Time is on my Side" - the
old Rolling Stones' standard, but they learned the song from playing
a vinyl record with that song on it, but because their batteries are
so weak, they play the record at 3/4 speed, producing a strange,
distorted hymnal that is supposed to sound like a funeral dirge.

Now, there's also supposed to be some cheap makeup effects for
the mutants they run into as they trek across Idaho. (?)

But since I have never actually seen this movie, I'm very curious
about it.

I've been warned that the movie looks a lot like a bunch of crazy
naked hippies tripping around in the desert, but surely there's GOT
to be more to the movie than that. Director Jim McBride is the
genius behind this strange, strange movie.

Does anybody know of a source to this movie on DVD?

For what it's worth, I checked http://www.imdb.com and
http://www.amazon.com but it appears they don't have it,
and aren't getting a copy any time soon. Nevertheless,
maybe someone else out there does? If possible, I'd like
a source in the United States.

In North America it is often available, used, on VHS from eBay and Amazon.

It is just as bad as it has been described. I had to sit through it in a
theater because one person in our group of six thought it was "pretty cool"
and he owned the car we all took. You can avoid it though -- Just one of
many ways in which your life could be better than mine.
