Skidoo

About This Movie

So, 'Skidoo' is this curious blend of comedy and crime, directed by Otto Preminger, which feels like a fever dream of late '60s cinema. You have this ex-gangster, Tony Banks, pulled back into the fray by none other than God, played by the ever-quirky Groucho Marx. The pacing's a bit all over the place, but that just adds to its surreal charm. The film dives into themes of power, loyalty, and the absurdity of mob life, all while throwing in some psychedelic visuals. The performances are a mixed bag; some hit the mark while others miss, but that’s part of its charm. It’s definitely a film that leaves you scratching your head but in a good way—it's not your typical mobster flick.
