Skidoo Alert!

skidoo01

In the wee small hours of Sunday morning, Turner Classic Movies is airing the legendary and infamous movie, Skidoo. If you're familiar with the film, that news is enough to send you racing to make sure your DVR does or does not record it. It's possible to see this movie several times and still not know if you like it or hate it. All you'll be sure of is that director Otto Preminger made a really, really strange movie full of famous people (Jackie Gleason and Groucho Marx, among them) and that it captures someone's really strange idea of what the sixties were like. If you've never seen it, give it a try…and if you don't quite understand what's going on, congratulations. That means you understand exactly what's going on…or isn't. Or something.
