This special effects extravaganza from 1966 has proved surprisingly enduring, despite a technical quality crude by contemporary standards; perhaps it's the screwball poetry of the plot.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
All I can tell you is it is quite a trip.
The lavish production, boasting some brilliant special effects and superior creative efforts, is an entertaining, enlightening excursion through inner space -- the body of a man.
An opportunity missed, therefore -- especially as the imaginative sets are slightly tackily realised -- but fun all the same.
