Hands down, the worst film I've EVER seen.

I think that there was actually an asian knockoff of that ET ripoff.

Skidoo (1968) has been kindly supressed.

Any film with a big name cast (especially a comedy) risks going overboard (It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World actually succeeds, rather than just suck). Any film that has Groucho Marx as a gangster named God, a scene with Jackie Gleason on an acid trip (seeing his wife Carol Channing and Frank Gorshin among others), and an ad campaign that included Timothy Leary and Sammy Davis Junior is going to hurt the mind.

Director Otto Priminger took LSD to prepare for this movie. Almost makes you regret he didn't OD while he was making The Man With The Golden Arm.

Does anyone ever talk about what it's like to be a part of the crew that produces these failures? You have to guess that somebody pours their heart into these things, only to watch it blow up in their faces. Still, the stories would probably make a fantastic book!
