A couple nights ago, I came across this gem of a movie, "Lord Love a Duck" with Roddy McDowall and Tuesday Weld, who looked remarkably like my daughter Zoe (or as she might when she grows up).

Now, right up front this movie is weird, in that beatnik pre-hippy kind of way that some sixties movies are weird.  Its not quite Dr. Strangelove, but it tries to be and succeeds in some ways as a comedy.

This is strange movie, but not one that is really a cult classic must see.  Its more of a cult classic that you watch once just to have the experience and then watch no more so that you don’t have to repeat the experience.  Its not one of those old movies that you wished were made after the invention of HDTV, in fact the quality on the movie reminds me of a Gilligan’s Island episode (which I think were filmed a year or two after this movie).
