I Love You, Alice B Toklas

Even when Peter Sellers was at the height of his popularity, and could seemingly do no wrong, director Hy Averback's satirical comedy was a dubious proposition. Despite promising early scenes in which asthmatic lawyer Sellers is at odds with his pushy girlfriend (the brilliant Joyce Van Patten), it all falls apart when Sellers eats marijuana-spiked cookies and becomes a hippy dropout. Very much of its time, this provided a Hollywood breakthrough for screenwriters Paul Mazursky and Larry Tucker after years of contributing to TV series such as The Monkees, and they went on to receive an Oscar nomination for the following year's Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice.
