From 1968, Jackie Gleason takes LSD in the Otto Preminger film, Skidoo.

The Egyptian theater on Hollywood had a showing of this film last week along with Who Is Harry Nilsson? Unfortunately, it was not a double feature in the general sense of the word, in that we would have had to leave the theatre and pay a second time for Skidoo. We opted not too, though I had seen Skidoo before back in SF, along with an afterward by Preminger's son.

Cast
Jackie Gleason, Carol Channing, Cesar Romero, Frankie Avalon, Peter Lawford, Burgess Meredith, George Raft, Richard Kiel, Arnold Stang, Frank Gorshin, Mickey Rooney, Slim Pickens, Stacy King, newcomers John Phillip Law, Alexandra Hay, Donyale Luna and Austin Pendleton & Groucho Marx

Score by Harry Nilsson

Darn it! I would have so been there. Were there any special guests for the Nilsson flick, or was it just the movie? Truly an underappreciated talent, that man.

Many were offered up, including, Mickey Dolenz, but in the end only the director was present. Still, the film was great. Definitely, worth seeing, though, as yet, the film does not have an American distributer.

Thanks for that! Sounds like a must see, along with the new Scott Walker documentary, 30 Century Man.
