A spotty, uneven satire (from the novel by Terry Southern) with a number of good yocks, but insufficient sustained wit or related action.

Is it all of its era? Yes, most definitely. But it's also as relevant and funny and pointed as it ever was.

The result is a variety concert of a film in which most of the acts/jokes fall flat.

Time Out
Joseph McGrath's movie version remains an acerbic, late-Sixties dark comedy classic.

It's too long and too silly ("Very silly indeed!") to work in the long run, so feel free to start and stop it at will -- you won't miss a thing.
