Otto Preminger and Harry Nilsson visit Hugh Hefner on "Playboy After Dark"
Today marks the 109th birthday of Otto Preminger, so I figured I'd take a look at the most fascinating film from the director of ANATOMY OF A MURDER, LAURA and BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING -- 1968's mobster LSD comedy SKIDOO featuring Jackie Gleason, Carol Channing, Groucho Marx, Frankie Avalon, Frank Gorshin and anyone else they could convince to show up. If you haven't seen it, this segment from "Playboy After Dark" in which Preminger and SKIDOO composer Harry Nilsson hang out with Hef should... well, it won't explain it at all. But it does feature Nilsson singing the film's closing credits (sort of) and Otto just kind of hanging out and explaining marijuana while dressed like Emily Hartley from "The Bob Newhart Show."
