Peter Sellers is actually fairly toned down in his role as an “uptight” Jewish lawyer who decides to join the Counterculture (quite literally, overnight) after ingesting pot brownies and enjoying a roll in the hay with a free-spirited “hippie chick” (radiant Michelle Phillips look-alike Leigh Taylor-Young). Despite the dated Hollywoodized trappings of late-60’s psychedelia (including the inevitable Party Scene, although interestingly nobody falls into a swimming pool for a change), Paul Mazursky’s script is at its heart a serio-comic tale of one man’s mid-life crisis. Sellers fans take heart,there are still some supreme comic moments (a very stoned and giggly Sellers trying to “maintain” as he watches a straight-faced man getting fitted for a minidress is a definite highlight). The film may have inspired a sub-genre of “Middle Aged Guy/Free-Spirited Young Woman” films like “I’ll Never Forget What’s ‘Is Name” and the more dramatic “Petulia”. So warm up the VCR and grab a plate of brownies (don’t forget the secret ingredient!)
It’s a very sad state of affairs when a comic artist the caliber of Peter Sellers is not as appreciated as he should be. The man was a genius at playing the uptight middle class doltish kinda guy. And his Harold Fine is the quintessential umcd. I didn’t see this film until the late 80’s. My brother & I were stoned one night and just laughed our asses off. It was amazing how the film had retained its comic force after 20 years. After viewing it I gave it a few years and wondered if it wasn’t just the added effect of the drugs but I saw it again stone cold sober and still lmao. Some of the 60’s hippie-era stuff probably hasn’t aged well but Sellers can’t be denied. I think along with his brilliant triple-shot in Dr. Strangelove this is his best work. The film also benefits from its terrific supporting cast including Jo Van Fleet, Joyce Van Patten & Leigh Taylor Young(giving arguably the best of films many spaced-out hippie portrayals). Hopefully whoever owns the rights will get a clue and have this dvd-released sometime soon but if not I highly recommend the vhs version of this comic gem.
