...speech is a fairly good indication of the general level of wit to be found in Putney Swope, a frenzied, almost desperate comedy by a barely emerged underground film maker named Robert Downey. Downey-who bills himself in the credits as "a prince"-has got it into his royal head that what America really needs at this point in its history is another put-down of the advertising business.
