I saw this back when it came out in 1968. It had all these big stars, it was directed by Otto Preminger, how bad could it be? Worse than I could have imagined. Today, it is hard to remember much detail. My mind has, thankfully, wiped out the stains. I saw some of "Heaven's Gate"-- as much of it as I could take -- and I skipped some of the other movies famous for being bad, so I still reference "Skidoo" today whenever I think of total disasters on celluloid. But it could serve a purpose for film students, just as studying lost battles can help military planners.
