(aka "T.P.A.")
Directed by Theodore J. Flicker
USA 1967
Writer-director Theodore J. Flicker’s (The Troublemaker) psychedelic satire is one of the wackiest and wittiest cult-classics of the sixties! With the responsibilities of world peace, the national debt and dessert choices at state dinners constantly on his mind, it seems like a good idea to find the President of the United States an analyst to help him deal with these burdens. Dr. Sidney Schaefer (the great James Coburn, Our Man Flint, Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round) wins the coveted job, but not without a price—governments from all over the globe are soon targeting the hapless doctor. Some want him to spill whatever secrets may have been discussed in the Oval Office, while others want to silence him permanently to prevent him from possibly revealing that very information! Co-starring Godfrey Cambridge (Cotton Comes to Harlem), Severn Darden (Conquest of the Planet of the Apes) and Joan Delaney (Don’t Drink the Water). *** At first, Dr. Sidney Schaefer feels honored and thrilled to be offered the job of the President's Analyst. But then the stress of the job and the paranoid spies that come with a sensitive government position get to him, and he runs away. Now spies from all over the world are after him, either to get him for their own side or to kill him and prevent someone else from getting him. |

On their
Blu-ray,
Kino use a DTS-HD Master dual-mono track (24-bit) in the
original English language. The President's Analyst
has few aggressive effects but is mostly lauded for the score
by
Argentinean Lalo Schifrin (famous as the guy behind the
Mission: Impossible theme as well as
Cool Hand Luke,
Coogan's Bluff,
Joe Kidd,
Eye of the Cat,
Rollercoaster,
Charley Varrick,
The Nude Bomb,
Day of the Animals,
Hit!,
Man on a Swing,
The Manitou,
Tango and many other films),
with Barry McGuire performing Inner Manipulations, She's Ready
to Be Free sung by Clear Light (as The Clear Light) and Handel's
Joy to the World, all sounding clean with consistent dialogue
in the lossless transfer. Kino offer optional English (SDH)
subtitles on their Region 'A'
Blu-ray.

Theodore J. Flicker's political lampoon
The President's Analyst
was the first film Robert Evans green-lit as the new head of Paramount
Studios. It portrays three-letter government agencies in a
less-than-flattering manner and the terms "FBI" were post-changed to "FBR",
and "CIA" to "CEA" - and they had to redub the voice track to reflect
those alternations. The President's Analyst
seems to have been an unjustly neglected satire and biting paranoid
conspiracy-theory romp. Coburn give one of his best performances. Thanks
to Peter for encouraging me to watch / review it. I loved it. The Kino Blu-ray
