One of my favorite Christopher Lee roles, and that's saying a lot, considering the breadth and number of roles he's played in his career.
I won't give away how Christopher Lee fits in to the core of the movie, but we first meet him about 30 minutes in, when he appears as a ruthless corporate headhunter to whom Martin Mull appeals for career advice and assistance.
The wonderful cast includes Tuesday Weld, Sally Kellerman, Bill Macy, Nita Talbot, and Peter Bonerz, but it's Christopher Lee who steals the show and embodies the essence of the movie. My favorite scene has a cult-follower telling Lee, "We love you," to which Lee replies, "Well, that's very easy to SAY, but are you willing to prove it?" Worth the price of admission alone.
At present, the film is still not available on DVD; you can find it on VHS and occasionally on cable, and it's worth it.
