The President's Analyst (1967)

Dr. Sidney Schaefer, a highly esteemed psychiatrist, finds himself thrust into the nerve-wracking world of international espionage when he is selected by the enigmatic "Central Enforcement Agency" (CEA) to serve as the President's personal analyst. His role? To keep the President's agents mentally fit amidst their harrowing assignments. However, his appointment is not without controversy, with the ever-belligerent "Federal Bureau of Regulation" (FBR) bitterly opposing his selection. Despite the tensions, President Lux remains confident that Schaefer is the perfect fit for the job. Schaefer now finds himself living a life of luxury, ensnared in a beautiful 'gilded cage' with near-instant access to the Presidential Manse. But with his newfound privileges come unnerving questions: Is he being watched? Who controls his communications? His high-profile role soon spirals into a chaotic whirl of suspicion and danger when he becomes the target of kidnapping attempts, assassination plots, and cloaked threats from a multitude of shadowy organizations including the FBR, RSS (Russian Secret Services) and a host of others. In a desperate bid for survival, Schaefer takes to the streets, weaving in and out of the vibrant "underground culture" and eccentric musicians. In the midst of this chaos, he never strays from his calling, providing therapeutic treatments to the agents he encounters, unearthing their deepest secrets. However, one ill-fated telephone call lands him in captivity. It is revealed that the puppet master behind the mayhem is none other than "The Telephone Company" (TPC), bent on creating a revolutionary "hive-mind" that links individuals' neurocortices to their phone numbers, effectively eliminating the need for expensive infrastructure. As the agents he has treated slowly realize that Schaefer is their only hope for sanity amidst their labyrinthine world of espionage, they embark on a daring mission to rescue him and dismantle the TPC network. The film culminates in a heartwarming Christmas party hosted by Schaefer, with the agents he has helped in attendance. Amidst the celebration, the relentless TPC continues its plans, morphing into an animatronic entity. "The President's Analyst" is a thrillingly satirical roller-coaster that blends elements of spy-films, science fiction, and the zany chase movies of the 1960s, offering viewers a tantalizing peek into a world where paranoia, humor, and high-stakes drama coexist.
