The President's Analyst

A satirical 1967 film starring James Coburn as the man recruited to be the eponymous individual; the stress of the job soon sends him on the run, with the knowledge gained from his sessions making him the target of every intelligence agency on the planet. Not to mention the most sinister entity of all: The Phone Company.
