La clinique en folie

I remember seeing the previews with my father. It looked REALLY funny, but you know how these things are, seldom do the movies live up the the trailer.

As we were waiting to go into the movie when it came out, the previous audience came out doubled over with laughter. It was so funny, I couldn't believe it! Yeah, the music isn't too good, cinematography was even worse, but the GAGS. I think it is pretty much a period comedy, but the times are coming back to the same kind of things that the film made fun of. Bring it back. Jeff PS, I paid $26 on E-bay for a poor copy of it and do not feel "taken."

My one line says it all. I still think of it a lot, actually I was beginning to doubt it it really existed or if I had mis-remembered the title. It was funny and I must have seen it in the Navy when I watched 2 movies or more a day on Guam in 1974-5. If you find it it is worth watching. J.

Some people have seen The Sound of Music more than 20 times. This is my

Sound of Music. I used to go and see see it whenever it was in a cinema. I also saw it on TV a lot of times. Even taped it once off TV but lost the tape.

I also rented it on video a few times. But I never saw a videotape of it to buy. Now it can't be found for love or money. If he were here, Albert Hopfnagel would find a way of making money from ot.

Probably seen it 25 times now. But I want to own it on DVD. This is, for me, one of Sellers' best performances. Release it, please somebody. Ten-four

This movie was originally released in 1972 as "The Operator". I saw it at the Apache Drive-In in Tucson AZ in 1978 as "Where Does It Hurt?". I was working in a hospital at the time and found the jokes outrageously funny and appropriate.

A well tanned JoAnn Phlug, (Lt. Dish from M*A*S*H the movie) is one of the main characters and plays well off of Sellers. Pat Morita as a young lab technician is a treat as well.

The gags are non-stop and the Pepsi machine as a door into Sellers office is a stroke of genius.

The title song was written by Keith Allison, who also starred as a minor character. Sort of like the Louden Wainwright character in M*A*S*H, the TV series.

This movie was risque by some standards then but would play uncut on any channel now. There is very little swearing in it but it alludes to some sexual situations.

Sadly, it has never been released on tape or DVD although it was shown by some pay services 15 years or so ago. I happened to tape it off of the defunct Stardust Theater and watch it occasionally, it's just as funny today as it was in 1978.

Too bad they don't release it on DVD as it's a classic example of '70 humor and Sellers dead-pan wisecracks are just as good now as when he was alive.

It was a funny movie and I had a lot of fun appearing in it, my scene was with Pat Morita and Peter Sellers where I tried to serve Peter a summons, but was continually frustrated in doing so. I wouldn't mind hearing from others who saw this movie and liked it.
