    Lord Love A Duck (1966)

    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    Roddy McDowall stars as Alan Musgrave, a teenage outcast who becomes protector and friend of ambitious high school cheerleader Barbara Ann Greene (Tuesday Weld) in this incredibly black comedy set against the backdrop of a Los Angeles High School.

    Barbara is driven to marriage, movie stardom, and (when it suits her mood) murder, performed by Alan.

    Lola Albright is Weld’s alcoholic cocktail-waitress mother, Marie, Harvey Korman the puffed-up high school principal, Weldon Emmett, and Ruth Gordon the poisonously sarcastic mother-in-law addicted to yoghurt and Stingers.

    This satire of Southern California sends up progressive education, greed and the idle rich with belly-laughs galore, and so many bizarre touches one wonders how director George Axelrod ever convinced a major studio to let him get away with this much.

    It also has one of the grooviest 60s soundtracks ever, featuring an obscure group called The Wild Ones.
