...a dated and completely misbegotten piece of work that has little of relevance to say all these years later.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 9, 2021

When it works, under the agitated, electric razzle-dazzle of Theodore J. Flicker's direction, it can be a screamingly funny (sometimes just plain screaming) experience.

Theodore Flicker's genial exercise in comic paranoia re-emerges, for no apparent reason, a reasonably fit and funny artifact from the age of grooviness.

Mindless bureaucracy, Cold War mentality, blind liberalism, and psychoanalysis are spoofed in this fast-paced comedy.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 2, 2007

The President's Analyst is a superior satire on some sacred cows, principally the lightly camouflaged FBI, hippies, psychiatry, liberal and conservative politics -- and the telephone company.

Overall it's hilarious stuff, held together by Coburn's tongue-in-cheek performance, one of his best.
