The giant breast from Woody Allen’s ‘Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex* But Were Afraid To Ask’ has learned to fly and is hunting for dicks.
The Shamus front and centre looks enough like Patrick McGoohan for me to wonder if this is the lost episode of ‘The Prisoner’ where Rover gatecrashed Number Six’s amateur producton of ‘Guys and Dolls’.
“Crowd of 1950s dudes crushed by giant symbolic representation of The Bomb.”
I vaguely remember the Monitors wearing yellow outfits and having personal force-fields, but I can’t really connect that to this oversized yellow dirigible.
Further GSS to, well, everyone. En fuego today, amigos!
GSS with cluster to fred and Tat.
@Bruce: now that you say that, I too vaguely remember it. But if neither of us remember the giant floating egg, can it have been too important to the story?
(Interesting to see that it was the first film outing of the Second City Comedy Troupe. Clearly done on a limited budget, since the aliens now wear black overcoats and bowler hats [1] and use spray cans to pacify people.)
[1] Admittedly more fashionable than what they were wearing in the book.
@Bruce: Lots of good people involved with the movie, but it still looks like it flopped. I guess the limited budget didn’t help.
With everyone today realizing government bureaucracies suck, dark comedies being popular, CGI aliens cheap, and snarky heroes the norm, I’m really surprised no one’s tried a Retief series.

Sometimes a giant yellow blob is just a giant yellow blob but this time I’m prepared to go with freakin’ huge penis

Huh. And still no Retief of the CDT TV series?
