Doctor Detroit

1983 89 min R Comedy

He's making the world safe for insanity.

One imagines the pitch meeting ran short on ideas. The mild-mannered Skridlow gets mistaken for a notorious pimp and winds up living a double life. It's never quite clear what the filmmakers thought they were doing.

Directed by Michael Pressman · Written by Carl Gottlieb, Bruce Jay Friedman, Robert Boris

Starring Dan Aykroyd, Howard Hesseman, Donna Dixon, Lydia Lei, T.K. Carter, Lynn Whitfield
