I have to give this film some points for its attempted outrageousness. I can add little to the previous posters, but can suggest some observations: * Jackie Gleason actually acquits himself pretty well. His acting stays low-key, even through his "Trip" sequence. Stack this performance against his work in, say, "Smokey and the Bandit." * I don't care that Carol Channing was younger than I now am when she made this movie. I never want to see her in bra and panties. I'd rather she sing more Nilsson lyrics than watch those scenes again.
* When two or more "Batman" villains are in a movie, that should be a sign of trouble. This one had three, plus Mr. Freeze as director! To people who bash "Hollywood," I used to say "Corporate Hollywood makes only one kind of movie: the ones they think will make a profit." Hard to imagine anyone at Paramount thought this would make a profit. But then, in those days, a movie didn't have to open on 3,500 screens its first weekend. Most likely it died a quick death in the big downtown theatres before the rest of the country could even hear about it.
