Mr. Freedom, a pro-America superhero who fights for God and country by beating, robbing, raping and killing anyone who looks like they might disagree with him. When he hears that France is in danger of falling to the Commies, Mr. Freedom heads overseas to set things right. When the welcome he receives isn't quite as warm as he expected, he gives up hope of steering the French away from the Reds and decides to salvage what he can by destroying the entire country.

With a fireworks display of social commentary Klein splashes the screen with the1960s colors magnified to perfection in oversized costumes. John Abbey does a great job as Mr Freedom, a roll that Peter Falk once begged for, preaching "We'll always beat 'em,/ with star-spangled freedom" which still seems to ring true in today's world.

Banned by the French government, recut by the producer, and misunderstood by the critics, Mr. Freedom is ripe for rediscovery. This garish, color-coded satire of Yankee imperialism and self-righteousness follows the superhero, an amalgam of James Bond, Buck Rogers, and a football fullback, who is sent to Europe to eliminate French leftists and avenge the death of his colleague, Capitaine Formidable (played by Yves Montand). (Klein described Mr. Freedom as "all the Westmorelands, the MacArthurs, the pinup boys of war.") Adrift in a foreign land, he falls in with counterinsurgent bombshell Marie-Madeleine, played by the stunning Delphine Seyrig. Made at the height of 1960s anti-Americanism, Mr. Freedom mixes puppets, agitprop, comic books, pinpoint satire, and outlandish design with a political ferocity that hasn't been seen since.
