Once again, YouTube serendipity lead me to this:
Written, directed by and starring Anthony Newley as Merkin with his wife,Joan Collins("Polyester Poontang"), Milton Berle("Goodtime Eddie Filth") and George Jessel("The Presence")! This little mindrocker is a mid-life crisis musical mockumentary with a not-too-subtle dash of Fellini whimsy. Here's the trailer:
Another scene with George Jessel and Milton Berle!
According to a commenter on IMDb, Joan Collins soon left him after the premiere! Now that is a scathing review!

ugh!...give me springtime for hitler any day!
Someone on fbook actually asked what "merkin" meant and a second person also chimed in, "Yes, what?" Which means there is a whole generation that doesn't get the "Merkin Muffley" joke. Damn.
I had never even heard of this before. Thanks for posting about it.
