There once was a saying in the old days of the youth movement: "don't trust anybody over 30". So trust Preminger, never a hipster even in his younger days, to make an LSD film where none of the big stars are under 50! Time Magazine had this to say about Skidoo: "Have you heard the one about the hippies, the mobsters, the convicts, the politician, the warden, the moll, and the gangster chief called God'? It's called Skidoo and the only reasons to see it are 1) to hear each and every credit, from cameraman to copyright date, sung on the sound track; 2) to see Carol Channing, Burgess Meredith, Peter Lawford, and even Groucho Marx make fools of themselves; and 3) just to believe it exists." Sound like reasons enough for me. But for those not yet convinced, don't forget that trash-can ballet!
