#MovieoftheDay: The Adding Machine (1969) Movies I Want to See: 37/50 I'm not quite sure how good or not good this adaptation of Elmer Rice's play is supposed to be, in large part because of its overwhelming obscurity; I can't even find a poster for it, only a few stills, a true rarity for a major studio (Universal) release of this era. The plot involves one Mr. Zero (Milo O'Shea) struggling against the forces of the modern world. Phyllis Diller plays Mrs. Zero, in a dramatic turn from a normally comedic actress. That the film sank without a trace may be due to Rice and his work having fallen out of favor, at least at the time (the opera of Street Scene is probably more often revived than the actual play), but just a few years back I saw a new musical adaptation of this very work, suggesting that time has not completely passed it by. It may be time to seek it out. A bootleg DVD can be found, in fact; this makes the absence of a poster all the more baffling. #TheAddingMachine #JeromeEpstein #ElmerRice #MiloOShea #PhyllisDiller
