‘The President’s Analyst’ (1967): when American’s greatest enemy was… the phone company?

My new post at David Horowitz’s NewsReal blog:

This mostly-forgotten curio is one of those “zany” 1960s “comedies” in which a bunch of B-listers run around screaming, hoping the audience will think it was hilarious.

If Get Smart had had pretensions to satirical social commentary, it would be The President’s Analyst.

Basically, the idea is that everybody in America is in therapy (which, if you’re a Hollywood liberal, must seem like the truth.) And if even the President had a shrink, spies and stuff would be trying to kidnap him to learn the President’s deepest secrets, right?
