Peter Sellers at his absolute best
I Love You, Alice B. Toklas! is probably my definitive 60s romp.
This movie has so many classic comic moments, I don't know where to begin. It was written by Paul Mazursky and might just be the high point of his illustrious career.
In between great stuff like where Howard, his fiancee and Jewish parents unwittingly eat pot brownies and the scene where Howard's scene turns into a bummer, there's some decent commentary of the hypocricies of the 60s. Plus a focused Sellars performance as Harold Fine with some great Jewish humor.
I'm tempted to quote this movie non-stop.
If you are any kind of fan of Peter Sellars, I cannot recommend this movie highly enough.
