The odd and moderetly successful character actor Timothy Carey, wrote, directed, produced and stared in this film about a suburban insurance agent who becomes a rock musician, a cult leader and a third party presidental candidate. Low of budget, unconventional in subject matter and presentation, it seems to anticipate in the relatively mild mannered Kennedy era, the societal freak out that would come later in 1960's. This is a counter culture film that bridges the eras of beatnicks and hippies. With a musical score by a young Frank Zappa and narration from prolific voice actor Paul Frees. Martin Scorsese is said to be a big fan of this film. **1/2
