    • Trivia
      Director Hy Averback said in an interview that one day Peter Sellers refused to shoot a scene until a crew member standing off camera changed clothes. The superstitious Sellers claimed the outfit was the "wrong color". Shooting had to stop while they went to wardrobe and got a different color outfit for the crew member.

    • Quotes

      Nancy: Your attitude is very unhip.

      Harold: My attitude is unhip? Don't give me that. Don't - listen, I'm probably the hippest guy around here. I got a house full of strangers. I got cats, I got dogs, I got pot, I got acid, I got LSD cubes. I've got this thing here. Don't tell me about hip. I am so hip it hurts. That's how hip I am.

      Nancy: It's very unhip to say you're hip, Harold.

      Harold: And it's very unhip of you to tell me that I am unhip.

    Peter Sellers at his absolute best

    I Love You, Alice B. Toklas! is probably my definitive 60s romp.

    This movie has so many classic comic moments, I don't know where to begin. It was written by Paul Mazursky and might just be the high point of his illustrious career.

    In between great stuff like where Howard, his fiancee and Jewish parents unwittingly eat pot brownies and the scene where Howard's scene turns into a bummer, there's some decent commentary of the hypocricies of the 60s. Plus a focused Sellars performance as Harold Fine with some great Jewish humor.

    I'm tempted to quote this movie non-stop.

    If you are any kind of fan of Peter Sellars, I cannot recommend this movie highly enough.
