Take another one off the list! Paramount is releasing The President's Analyst on 6/8.
James Coburn is the titular character, pursued by everyone and his brother when he quits his job. This cult movie tips just about every sacred cow out there! Can't wait...

I don't know all of the details, but didn't previous home video versions of this have some music replaced? Also, wasn't one scene with Barry McGuire cut completely? (I've never seen the whole movie, just bits and pieces from TBS years ago). I believe that I read on another forum that Paramount was working to resolve any music rights issues ... any word as to whether a) the music will be all original and b) the scene with McGuire will be intact?

Martin Blythe said the the music rights issues would be resolved so that the Barry McGuire tunes would be intact. However, this also means that the trailer will have to be omitted, since that music also needed clearance that proved too expensive for the allocated production budget. And the alternate scenes for television are not likely either.
Nevertheless, I will buy this DVD, as it's a favorite, and hey, you can't get movement for a special edition unless they see that the original was a popular item, right?

Does the phone company know this is coming out????
Anyways, back to Coburn. I heard, but never saw, about a 3rd Derek Flint movie that was made for TV. Any chance of that coming out???

For 90% of their releases lately, Paramount has been leaving trailers off their non-special edition catalog titles anyway, so no added loss there. This movie is really funny - very much of its time but not as outdated as, say, OUR MAN FLINT. The telephone company business is surprisingly irreverent.

Great news about the music being cleared for the film itself, Mark.
THE PRESIDENT'S ANALYST is one of the funniest, most highly-quotable comedies that the majority of people haven't seen.
"You may continue the relationship, provided: you meet only during daylight hours, and DO NOT SLEEP!"
"Look real? Plastic. Made in my own workshop."
"Personally, I find submarine travel tediummm...tediummm...tediummmm..."
"I've installed red signal lights wherever they may be necessary!"
"Don't say 'lousy', it's impolite."
"Total sound."
"Take that, you hostile son-of-a-bitch!!!"
"Sure, Sullivan, I'll go get them. After all, I'm just a squire --YOU'RE the KNIGHT, YOU have the LICENSE TO KILL!"
"Do you think we like being the silent bleeding partner in North America? Coo lummy! Armed with what's in your 'ead, maybe we can change the course of 'istory!"
"Now, to look at this hand, you wouldn't think you were looking a the future of communications technology. Let's take a closer look, shall we?"
"Wanna draft beer?"
"Have you ever heard of Dr. Chen Hyu, and his electrodynamic process of thought reform? Three days. Three days alone with him, and he'll have me pouring every thought in my head into those tape recorders!"
