...actors playing together like an ensemble company. Jack Gilford deftly fits his long, lugubrious countenance around the part of Erwin, ace composer of Mother's Day verses for a greeting-card company. Patsy, the horse player, is played by Sam Levene, and Dorothy Loudon as Patsy's moll does a solo in her underwear that would give any choreographer something to think about...

Have you heard the one about the hippies, the mobsters, the convicts, the politician, the warden, the moll', LSD, the balloon and the gangster chief called "God"? Well, that's it. End of joke. It's called Skidoo, and the only conceivable 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 actors like Jackie Gleason, Carol Channing, Burgess Meredith, Peter Lawford and even Groucho Marx make fools of themselves; and 3) just to believe that it exists. Ostensibly a comedy, Skidoo...
