Writer-director Theodore J. Flicker’s (The Troublemaker) psychedelic satire is one of the wackiest and wittiest cult-classics of the sixties! With the responsibilities of world peace, the national debt and dessert choices at state dinners constantly on his mind, it seems like a good idea to find the President of the United States an analyst to help him deal with these burdens. Dr. Sidney Schaefer (the great James Coburn, Our Man Flint, Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round) wins the coveted job, but not without a price—governments from all over the globe are soon targeting the hapless doctor. Some want him to spill whatever secrets may have been discussed in the Oval Office, while others want to silence him permanently to prevent him from possibly revealing that very information! Co-starring Godfrey Cambridge (Cotton Comes to Harlem), Severn Darden (Conquest of the Planet of the Apes) and Joan Delaney (Don’t Drink the Water). Special Features: • Brand New HD Master by Paramount Pictures – From a 4K Scan of the 35mm Original Camera Negative • NEW Audio Commentary by Film Historian/Writer Julie Kirgo and Writer/Filmmaker Peter Hankoff • Audio Commentary by Novelist and Critic Tim Lucas • Theatrical Trailer • Optional English Subtitles
