Peter Sellers explores hilarious new territory in a flower power psychedelic comedy written by Paul Mazursky and Larry Tucker. With the help of a batch of Alice B. Toklas’ groovy hash brownies, Sellers goes from square lawyer to dedicated dropout, trading his “straight” life for bell bottoms and free love, while falling head over heels for his brother’s hippie girlfriend (Leigh Taylor-Young).
“Film blasts off into orbit via top-notch acting and direction. Sellers’ performance – both in scenes which spotlight his character as well as ensemble sequences in which everyone is balanced nicely – is an outstanding blend of warmth, sensitivity, disillusion and optimism” – Variety
