I Love You, Alice B. Toklas
A comedy that practically defines 1968, Bob Hope could have starred in this if he were 30 years younger. As it is, Peter Sellers plays the square fish out of water who finds a new lease on life thanks to some pot brownies and Leigh Taylor-Young as a very friendly flower child. Hy Averback (Hope’s original radio show announcer) directed and the vastly hipper Paul Mazursky and Larry Tucker wrote the screenplay.

About Dr. Z
There are entertainers who only need one name: Sammy, Frank, Cher. To that list you can add Dr. Solomon Francis Zed. Dr. Z has been entertaining audiences for decades with a patented combination of showmanship and pizzaz that Lew Wasserman once described as, “a tall glass of yes with a wow chaser.” After gaining fame with his wildly successful nightclub act, Dr. Z established his acting bona fides on Broadway with a one-man show based on Twelve Angry Men and followed it up with a Tony winning version of The Shining called Overlookin’. On film, he played Abe Lincoln in an extended flashback sequence in The Towering Inferno that ended up on the cutting room floor, but picked up an Oscar the following year playing an arachnophobic priest who faces his fears in the disaster blockbuster Tarantulanche! Never tiring, Dr. Z still bounds out of bed every afternoon to fill any empty spotlight he can find.
