Silly artifact of its time even though it seems it was meant to lampoon it. Our best memories of Sellers all have him in this context: The priggish union leader of "I'm All Right, Jack," who suddenly found himself on television; the timid bank clerk of "Battle of the Sexes," who decided to commit a murder; the military man of "The Mouse That Roared," stalking through Manhattan with bow and arrow; the visitor from India in "The Party." "Are you afraid of me?" If they'd dropped Sellers into a real hippie culture, we might really have had a movie here. | Rating: C+ Hippies wear funny clothes, sleep on the stove, don't wash, read the Los Angeles Free Press, bake pot brownies, put up posters everywhere and operate with a sort of mindless, directionless love ethic.

Toklas Apr 04, 2012 I think this must be my favourite Peter Sellers movie, it's really hilarious and very 60s, I really liked it. The story is good, a regular square guy falls in love with a hippie and it changes his life. It does that but since what it satirizes is now so outmoded it dates terribly and seems quaint.
