Yet another film that you wish you could rate with an exclamation mark rather than a numerical score, it makes an interesting companion piece to Robert Altman's 'Brewster McCloud', since both were comic extravaganzas starring Bud Cort that crashed and burned.
The last film Corman ever made for AIP, it was one of the few that he ever made that lost money and took four years to reach Britain, where Films and Filming's critic aptly described it as "an inspired piece of lunacy"; it's also a salutary reminder that of the two directors, Corman was actually the younger.
Complete with a scene shot on Dealey Plaza, and featuring a guest appearance by Edgar Allan Poe, it sure looks as though (as Corman later admitted) it was being made up as it went along.
