I stumbled on this film and watched for a love of Gene Wilder. The film was pretty much panned when it was released, and not without good reason. it does descend into that 70s absurdity humor that gets a little old for me, but as i was watching things SLOWLY unfold, i started reading the WIKI article about this movie and the play that it is based on.

It's an especially poignant movie today as the populism of right-wing parties all over the world is becoming a new normal. The play was much better received than this movie was, but there are some great lines and the message is still relevant. Makes me want to read the Eugene Ionescos's work.
