This is a great film. Yeah, you read that right. It's what Otto Preminger's Skidoo should have been. Sure, The Phynx is dated to a large degree. It's definitely a pyschedelic, 1960's film with all those trappings, but it's often very funny, often satiric, with some of the humor dating and some of it still funny as hell. The early scenes of an agent trying to break into Albania are funny, and one of the members of the band does a beer commercial that has a hilarious punchline. There are some brilliant surreal touches throughout the film, and it has gorgeous sets and cinematography. The songs (by Lieber and Stroller) are pretty good too. The old school stars seem to be having a good time, and have some very funny dialogue along the way. It's also a funny parody of the Cold War at the time on both sides. So check this out, and ignore those who hate it. It's only 90 minutes long, and often hilarious.
