No But I Saw The Movie is a humorous novel written by Peter De Vries. The story follows the life of Richard ""Whit"" Whitaker, a successful advertising executive living in New York City. Despite his success, Whit is dissatisfied with his life and feels unfulfilled. He begins to question the meaning of his existence and starts to have an existential crisis.Whit's life takes a turn when he meets a beautiful and mysterious woman named Ellen. As he becomes more involved with Ellen, he begins to question his own identity and the choices he has made in life. Along the way, he also encounters a cast of eccentric characters, including a famous movie star and a philosophical cab driver.The title of the book refers to Whit's obsession with movies, which he uses as a way to escape his mundane life. However, as he delves deeper into his own psyche, he realizes that he can no longer rely on the movies to provide him with answers.De Vries' writing style is witty and satirical, and the novel is filled with humorous observations about life in the 1960s.
