A/V CLUB THEATER SPECIAL: ‘SKIDOO (1968)’

When older actors want to feel relevant, they make a movie that they think the kids will like. That must have been the selling point for this 1968 Otto Preminger anomaly. Starring the likes of Jackie Gleason, Carol Channing, John Phillip Law, and Groucho Marx, among many other Hollywood legends, this movie answers the question no one asked, "What if Jackie Gleason dropped acid?" Accompanied by a Harry Nilsson soundtrack, this movie goes places you would never imagine. Be sure to stay through the end credits which are sung, verbatim, in their entirety by Nilsson. This one has to be seen to be believed.
