I saw this movie at the time and remember enjoying it, although I was 11 and it's incredibly slow-moving, at least in the first quarter-hour, which was all I watched this time.  And I have to say, middle-aged Gen-Xer that I am, I was much more interested in the clips from Green Acres, The Price is Right, and whatever show Muttley the Hanna-Barbera Snickering Dog was on than the deliberately emotionless character Sellers plays.

Jerzy Kosinski co-wrote the script, based on his novel.  Hal Ashby directed, but this is no Harold and Maude.
