      Audience Member This is one of the funniest forgotten movies of all time. Peter Sellers is great as a greedy hospital administrator. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Poor Peter Sellers movie. Very 1970's. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Barely a comedy with a horrible musical soundtrack. Sellers plays a hospital administrator who urges unnecessary surgeries from the staff. Purely a dark comedy and spoof of hospitals, the goal is to keep patients indefinately in the hospital to acquire insurance benefits or their homes.

Without Sellers, this would have been a rotten.

Peter Sellers perfectly played the role of a greedy, crooked (and very comical) hospital administrator. I loved the bit with the pepsi machine, as well as so many other parts of the movie. It's definitely a must-see, especially if you're a Sellers fan. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member After Paddy Chayefsky made his scathing comedy indictment of hospitals, "The Hospital," a low-budget company made this knock-off, starring Peter Sellers as the corrupt adminiistrator of an L.A. hospital -- and this movie is even funnier than the Chayefsky movie. It's available on boot-legs, and it's a must-see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
