Putney Swope (1969)

I really don’t know what to think of this film. It’s rather odd, occasionally amusing, and often feels very contemporary. The pre-credit scene does a great job of setting up Putney Swope as the new head of an advertising firm and then the rest of the film is all quite a bit of mayhem. I thought to myself that if someone wants to reflect on some of the odder choices Robert Downey Jr. has made in his career, that he came from the same genetic material as this film. Kudos for the odd, but intriguing choice to dub over Arnold Johnson’s voice with Downey Sr.’s deep tone; downvotes for the excessively long ad for Lucky Airlines.
