We’ll show you ours If You Show Me Yours! Season 9 dances along with Skidoo, Otto Preminger’s take on hippie drug culture. Which stars the least hippy-like cast you can imagine!
Tough Tony Banks (Jackie Gleason) is a malcontent mobster who is perpetually at odds with his wife, Flo (Carol Channing). When Tony receives an unusual assignment from a crime lord known as God (Groucho Marx), he reluctantly accepts and must get himself arrested and incarcerated with the sole purpose of killing an imprisoned convict (Mickey Rooney). Tony’s mission gets completely derailed, however, when he accidentally takes acid and has a mind-expanding experience that leads to an ambitious escape plan. Meanwhile, Banks’ daughter gets caught up in the hippy life in San Francisco and gets her mind expanded and her belly painted .
The cast also includes Frankie Avalon, Frank Gorshin, George Raft, Burgess Meredith, and Peter Lawford. Yes, you read that right. The cast in this hippy film is a who’s-who of 1950s and pre-hippy 1960s pop culture. For some reason. Though they don’t share a stage, it is great to see Marx and Rooney trade quips.
As always, the KFEB hosts provide ratings for the films that are based on the fun, enjoyment, and craziness of the film. These scores will be tabulated and an on-going grid will keep you up to date with the search.
So sit back and enjoy the laughs as KFEB sings along with the dance numbers, paints our bodies with the hippies, and treasures this last screen appearance of the great Groucho Marx.
