Love this movie!
(89) I Love You, Alice B. Toklas (1968): This is a great Hy Averback period piece from the '60s. Harold (Peter Sellers), a stuffy, stodgy lawyer, engaged to his office secretary, Joyce (Joyce Van Patten), meets flower child Nancy (Leigh Taylor-Young) and decides to change his life. He literally dumps Joyce at the alter to heads straight for Nancy. He sheds his lawyer garb, opting instead for bell-bottoms, beads, and platform shoes. The film is a laugh-riot, particularly the scene where Harold, Joyce, and Harold's parents (Jo Van Fleet and Salem Ludwig) enjoy some "special" brownies that Nancy made for Harold. A great romp that you can watch anytime, anywhere!

ReplyDeleteThis is one of the few films I actually own. Love so many things about this film, including the way each scene is shot in one take, and the fact that the title seems to apply more to Bruno himself. (Him spending all of his money on matching leather jackets, playing in the mud, and using a metal rod to splash around in the water). Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did!
