Greenwich Village satirist Theordore J. Flicker made one of the zaniest spy spoofs of the '60s--the ultimate in paranoia and conspiracy. James Coburn stars as a hip New York psychiatrist recruited by his mentor to take on the president as his exclusive patient. After quitting his job because of the stress, he's forced to go into hiding when spies from all sides want to know his secrets. The social and political satire never lets up, as the usually unflappable Coburn becomes completely neurotic. Godfrey Cambridge is hilarious as his cohort and former patient (his opening monologue about self-hatred is a classic), and so is Severn Darden, who plays a charming Russian agent. A true original with the utmost retro appeal today. --Bill Desowitz

What a great movie. It is so funny and telling of its time. I love the scenes with the "average American family" - the guns, the judo, the son's Jr. Spy kit, the liberal jargon - with William Daniels ("Mr. Feeny" from Boy Meets World) putting in a great performance as the father of the family, Winn Quantrill. As many times as I've watched it I can't help but laugh out loud when the camera pulls up from the "hippy" scene in the grassy field when each of the assassins, in turn, have been killed - ...

For 30 years this was my favorite movie. The plot would work today as well as it did then. You will never gues who the bad guy is. It has a whole lot of 60's/cold war stereotypes like short FBI agents. The world of undercover agents wants the presidents analyst. The analyst just wants dope and hot chicks as well as a centered chi. Watch it. You probably missed this and don't know what you are lacking. Typing this I chuckle going over some of the scenes.

I just think James Coburn is sexy. If you like the camp of the Flint movies, give it a try. It is not as delicious, feels more dated, somehow, not so iconic, but some good moments. Seeing lanky Coburn dressed as a wigged hippie banging a gong will give you a good long laugh.

This film is a true classic - it captures a time, place, and mood with remarkable clarity, but moreover, it predicted the future with amazing prescience.
Everyone involved in the communications revolution should know about "TPC" and "Arlington Hewes".

My husband and I are both James Coburn fans but we found this movie to be unwatchable. The story line is boring in that you just keep seeing him getting called in the middle of the night and then leaving the President's room. We watched this once and will not waste the time on watching it again.
