The Monitors (1969)
Fun, twisted movie
23 June 2006 - 5 out of 7 users found this review helpful.
I saw this years ago, before I really knew much about Second City. Apparently, this was done by a group of Second City folks in the "let's make a movie" spirit, & it shows! Cameos by everybody & their dog, including Jackie Vernon, Sen. Everitt Dirkson, & Xavier Cougat (& his dog!). I knew it was based on a Keith Laumer novel, but didn't know until now that he co-wrote it.
Very funny, very strange, & now that I live in Chicago, I recognize many of the locations as being within a few blocks of Second City!
How can you beat Guy Williams, Larry Storch, & Avery Schreiber? Fun, relaxed performances in a very enjoyable SF story.
