Movie review - "Skidoo" (1968) *

 Basic plot simple - retired hitman goes into prison to kill gangster. Jazzed up with wackiness. Otto Preminger not a naturally funny director. The late sixties doesn't help.

Carol Channing bizarre. Groucho Marx tired. Frankie Avalon good - so too Frank Gorshin and Austin Pendleton. John Phillip Law tries. Alexandra Hay is pretty.

A mess. Interesting.
