Theodore Flicker's genial exercise in comic paranoia re-emerges, for no apparent reason, a reasonably fit and funny artifact from the age of grooviness.

If Philip K. Dick had worked for Mad magazine, he might have come up with The President's Analyst.

Mindless bureaucracy, Cold War mentality, blind liberalism, and psychoanalysis are spoofed in this fast-paced comedy.

The 60s school of improvisational comedy is beautifully preserved in Theodore J. Flicker's film.
