| I'm a sucker for those quasi-anarchic comedies of the 60s that co-opt elements of the counterculture in the pursuance of a few laughs. (Someone should curate a festival of said films.) Theodore J. Flicker's The President's Analyst is one of the better entries in the genre, and it set its satirical sights on everything from psychology, politics, the cold war, the FBI, the CIA, gun-toting liberals, and the greatest evil in the world -- the phone company. James Coburn is excellent as the titular analyst driven mad by the various organizations tracking his every move. Naturally, he winds up in a mini-bus full of hippie musicians, where he meets the lovely Snow White (Jill Banner), pictured in last week's quiz. Though obviously dated, it still holds up remarkably well. This week: I was recently introduced to somebody who reminded me of the lead actress in this film -- or rather, the character she plays. A pointless piece of information, but the inspiration for choosing this film. Perhaps it's a bit too obvious, but just who is that putting on her sweater? Name the film, and for a bonus point, tell me the name of the American whose world record is broken in the film. Submit your answers to this address. Good luck! |

I have no idea, but this picture is funny. It makes me think of Haley Joel Osment in the 6th Sense for some reason.
