A absurdist, Kafkaesque comedy mixed with sci-fi that also features heavy social and political satire. The comedic elements still holds up to this day and some would argue it's even more effective today; although it also provides a great look at the 60s political and social ambient and it's very endearing at that. This movie really got better with time and it shows.

It nicely portrays the 60's. This is one of my favourite films because it is quirky funny and smart...I like it because it got the 60's feel right on and the way I remember the many beautiful women....great acting & characters...

Sure, it's dated by some of the period details, but it's a clever satire whose main conceit has proven to be uncomfortably prescient some 55 years later...a blandly malevolent AI controls the corporation that has a monopoly over telecommunications in the United States and it doesn't have humanities best interest in it's cold robotic hands.

I found nothing the least bit convincing.

This one is my husband's favorite, and I finally watched it with him after we got our Covid shots and I "What are you trying to tell me, Honey? Spies like us all love the phone company?". It's a very happy ending. All the robot-aliens are virtually plugged into their favorite spies on screen, and everyone agrees we're all invested in the phone company, so, why bother being so paranoid about it? This film blasted this message out in 1967, so all the new conspiracy theories seem like classic cars compared to this film which must've always been a Tesla.

Give this movie a shot, guarantee you've never seen anything like it

Brilliant satire with fun writing. Definitely ahead of its time. Coburn and the other actors had fun making this one.

The best comedy movie ever made!

The President's Analyst is a fun example of '60s psychedelic comedy. The twists and turns in this intentionally convoluted Cold War spy spoof deliver plenty of laughs.

Ahead of its time classic, one of the first political satires that will turn your head upside down. At times silly, but always enjoyable. I saw it when I was a kid and waited for about 20 years for it to come around again on 온라인카지노추천 -- what a treat and journey into the past. James Coburn is so good, those shady eyes, the paranoia, the shock and horror of what it all means in the end. No spoilers. Some say it is dated, which means nothing considering it is nearly 50 years old! TJ Flicker is a genius to have dreamed this one up -- and I love the gong solo in the beginning -- "How about that sound!" One of my top 10 movies!

The film that was pretty damn brilliant when it was released in 1967 has dated somewhat. It's still pretty great and the duo of Coburn and Cambridge couldn't have been any better.

This is one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen. I thought it was gonna be like 60s comedy cute but instead it's 60s psycho insanity which starts out as like a guy who gets hired to be the president's psychiatrist and then quickly dissolves into like spy vs spy paranoia and new jersey karate housewife and CIA kid and hippie van and LSD orgy and then like the ultimate bad guy beyond the russians or the chinese is like................. well, I don't want to spoil it but basically the movie ends in a spaceship shoot out. So many mixed messages about politics and surveillance and drugs and psychoanalysis. I feel like they shot Casino Royale and then they were like lets just reuse these sets. Get James Coburn in here. I'm shocked this got made. A+ would watch again.

A wall-to-wall classic, but did I hear the DVD version does not include the 'art movie' scene where "Dr Schaefer" first meets "Nan"? That's the best scene in the whole picture!

Spy vs. Spy vs. Spy vs. Spy and so on and so forth--This movie is groovy!!

This movie is far out. It is also a mess. That said, James Coburn wears turtlenecks better than any man who ever lived.

Skön komedi med hippieinslag.

This is amusing in fits and starts. The effects have really dated but I love the identity of the true bad guys.

This has to be one of my all time favourites. RT has it under the Drama category: I couldn't disagree more as this is a spy vs spy Comedy. Plot: James Coburn/Dr.Schaefer is appointed the presidents analyst. Mr president has issues he needs to get off his chest from time to time. Being the presidents analyst means being on stand by at all times, day and night. He finds the president a most fascinating man, and soon realises that the job is no walk in the park. He is constantly called to the white house in the middle of the night while asleep, and is basically driven up the wall. The only way out of this mess is to simply quit and hope for the best. Quitting turns out to be a nightmare as he is hunted down by spies, concerned by the information revealed during his sessions. The information he has now in his head is too valuable, so he has no other choice to go undercover avoiding numerous assassination attempts. James Coburn is the perfect suave man, in his cool suit and sunglasses as he frequents the white house with a grin on his face until things go sour. If you can remember the comic strip "Spy vs Spy" in Mad magazine, you kind of get the idea of hell this guy goes through. The whole premise is similar to the English secret agent 온라인카지노추천 show "The Prisoner" from the sixties. They both resign their jobs and have valuable information non existent secret agencies want. The production values are top notch and it has a psychedelic look typical of the time as "Our Man Flint". The film is full of great music, funky effects and gadgets. Dr Schaefer goes undercover in a hippie commune as well and looks so cool, even when someone spikes the punch with acid. The ending climax is breathtaking, if not mind blowing. I won't ruin it for you , but can say it has something to do with the Phone Company. I used to have this on laser disc, but have the DVD now. I hope one day it'll pop up on Blu Ray, as this is one those great films I wouldn't mind buying again for superior picture quality. Directed by Theodore J Flicker who also directed several episodes of "Night Gallery" and "The Mod Squad". Trust me, this is a good film that'll probably put a smile on your face and an occasional jaw drop.

Slightly dated, uneven, but often very enjoyable satire on the government and the spy film genre. James Coburn is excellent as the titular psychiatrist, who finds relieving the President's burdens a taxing job; Coburn, with his sly grin and smooth voice, makes for a perfectly slightly extraordinary hero. Godfrey Cambridge, while not having nearly enough screen time, is wonderful as the CEA (totally not the CIA) agent assigned to track Coburn down after he escapes Washington with a smarmy New Jersey family, the inanely psychotic father of whom is played, also hilariously, by William Daniels ("We're liberals, not left-wing."). Cambridge proves both adept at humor and at more serious material; an early monologue where he discusses his discovery of a certain racial slur is quite moving, and it's a credit to Cambridge's performance that you can never be quite sure if he's sincere or acting out a sob story. Severn Darden is immensely likable as a genial Russian spy; he and Cambridge have a wonderful chemistry, and a scene where they casually discuss Coburn's case, finally making a bet on who will find him first, is one of the film's best. Joan Delaney is delightful as Coburn's frustrated girlfriend; Will Geer has an amusing cameo as his mentor. Theodore J. Flicker wrote and directed the film, and much of its success, as well as many of its flaws, rest on his shoulders. The humor is sometimes dated (unavoidable), but more serious is the erratic tone of the film; sometimes biting political satire, sometimes anti-establishment free love comedy, sometimes wacky escapades. While the film is rich, and packs a lot into its 102 minutes, it does drag in a few spots (there's an extraneous montage early on that stops the action for about 3 minutes). But when the film is good, which is much of the time, it's a blast. Flicker's direction is usually deft and cleverly-paced, and his sense of humor is often surreal; for example, Coburn is summoned by the President by a flashing red light and alarm, and at one point this alarm emanates from a bowl of soup. Another scene, where several groups of assassins try to eliminate Coburn in a field, and are all silently dispatched, is a classic. The storyline itself is a bit wobbly, and towards the very end it goes a bit off the rails, satirizing the phone company (here reimagined as a monolithic, and psychotic, corporation); this joke probably rang truer in the 60s, and feels like a slightly lame twist, but the delightful final scene makes up for it. Lalo Schifrin's music is great, as is William A. Fraker's cinematography. It's worth noting that this film gives every appearance of being one which needs multiple viewings to garner all the details; I look forward to them.
