The Fat Spy (1966)
For what it is... it's a sales tool.
Here's a sidenote to what everyone else posted.
This film was produced in Cape Coral, Florida. It was only filmed there for product placement purposes, well before product placement was ever really heard of.
The developers of Cape Coral were the typical "bought swampland in Florida" types you heard so much about.. so they thought having a movie filmed HERE would advertise their city. They used all the city landmarks at the time and hoped the movie would sell their property sales.
Eventually Cape Coral became as they say "Lies that came true" and is a thriving city today. It's just a very funny thing to watch this film from the angle of it being a sales tool.
That, and watching them hide Jayne Mansfield's very visible pregnancy with statuary and other methods is funny too.
Idiocracy (2006)
Why was this film buried? Was Fox offended by insulting the stupid?
This movie deserved better. Mike Judge's satirical wit brought to light something too many in this country are trying to deny... we're getting dumber as a society.
Could the 24-hour-a-day Anna Nicole coverage be any more proof? Mike Judge paints a frightening future, where the dumb survive and thrive. Makes you stop and think, and laugh. Can you look at the world and not ask are we getting dumber? Are we being overtaking by the human trash as well as our own trash? (Beware of landslides).
The movie is really funny. I'd tell you more of the plot but I don't want to spoil it.
So why release this film with ZERO promotion? Could it be that the stupid are already taking over?
