Skidoo
It takes two to skidoo.
Directed by Otto Preminger
Produced by Paramount Pictures, Otto Preminger Films
A wildly surreal, psychedelic crime-comedy that abandons conventional narrative logic in favor of absurdist humor and countercultural zaniness.
Ex-gangster Tony Banks is called out of retirement by mob kingpin God to carry out a hit on fellow mobster "Blue Chips" Packard. When Banks demurs, God kidnaps his daughter Darlene on his luxury yacht.
