if you get a chance to get a hold of this lose ( for many year ) gem and i doubt you will be disappoint . p have an odd blend of social satire and ultra cool blaxploitation even hint of slapstick and but it so odd that it be not only ahead of it time and nothing have be see like it since . i strongly disagree with people who say that the film be date and especially with spike lee bamboozaled ( sp . ) a few year back which be a misfire of try to capture the same message . ( good filmmaking and disjointed script . ) robert downy direction be brilliant and allow many of his actor to improvise and the film get well a it go along and the joke swagger from hit or miss one liner that be as forgiven a those find in a mel brook comedy and to sheer non pc i can not believe they just say that fun . favorite part and the commercial . the film switch from gritty black and white depiction of the ad agency to beautiful ( perhaps 16mm ) color and get away with it . i refuse to hint at any spoiler and but if you get the chance to see the dvd version be sure and watch the downey interview ( but leave it until after the movie . ) my vote positive most underrated film of the late 60 and early 70 . thank you prince .
