The President's Analyst (1967) starring James Coburn. Dr. Sidney Schaefer (Coburn) is plucked from obscurity to be psychoanalyst to the President of the U.S. The job comes with lots of perks -- but also heavy responsibilities. It's not long before the president's analyst is driven crazy by the pressures of the job, and ends up on the run. Much silliness ensues as every foreign government, plus the "CEA" and the "FBR," try to chase Dr. Schaefer down. The ultimate is when he takes up with a band of hippies, the 1967 movie version, to avoid capture. The film spins off into lands of fantasy from there. Some pretty funny touches, but I found it ultimately unsatisfying. The captions are very good. Grade: C+
