The President's Analyst (1967 Theodore J Flicker & scr)

It was photographed by that William A Fraker fellow again. (Heaven Can Wait, Chances Are, Irreconcilable Differences, Rosemary's Baby, Bullitt, Rancho DeLuxe, Day of the Dolphin.) Great (funny) music by Lalo Schifrin (e.g. to fit with paranoid moments).

Great fun - the ultimate villain is the phone company. In this and other respects the film seems very much ahead of its time. James Coburn is good and bouncy, great to see Williams Daniels shooting at people. The relationship between American and Russian agents Godfrey Cambridge and Severn Darden is funny.

With Joan Delaney, Pat Harrington Jr., Eduard Franz, Walter Burke, Will Geer. Edited by Stuart Pappé.

Very distinctly a film from 1967. Paramount.
