Off Your Rocker.......

Milton Berle, Red Buttons, Lou Jacobi, Dorothy Malone, Helen Shaver, Sean McCann, Sharon Acker, Helen Hughes and ....




The residents of Mapleview Home for the Retired struggle to retain their individuality and joie-de-vivre, collectively rebelling against a new administration that diminishes the richness of their lives for the sake of smooth bureaucratic and bodily functioning, predictability and techno-logical control.

        Good Guy Mr. Adler (Lou Jacobi) loses Mapleview when his gambling debts are taken over by hustler Lou Carman (Sean McCann) who cheats him out of his property. In despair, losing his mind to a devastating stroke, Mr. Adler becomes an inmate in what was his very own Mapleview. He and his old and beloved residents suffer from the new and oppressive regime.  Henry Foster (Milton Berle) and Seymour Saltz (Red Buttons) plot to win the home back and return it to Mr. Adler even as as he is being nursed back to health by the tender  intimacies of ex-showgirl Shelly (Dorothy Malone).  Thanks to a sympathetic, daring and naughty nurse (Sharon Acker) the hustler is black-mailed, the home taken from him, and in a well-plotted revolution, returned to Lou Adler.
