| It has been ages since I last saw that (it has been remade this year, by the way). Very funny, yes. One of the great classic comedies is circa 1930, with John Barrymore, entitled "The Great Man Votes". He plays a dapper drunk, appropriately enough. He is wooed by the political machine in his city as the last voter in his district, because as his district goes, so goes the city.....My favorite Marx Brothers movie is "Duck Soup" (Hail, hail, Freedonia); my favorite Chaplin is "Modern Times", although "The Gold Rush" is funnier; and my favorite over the top, adult comedy is probably "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown", by Pedro Almoldavar........ |
