| | Anonymous 08/31/2012 | | I like this movie. Marsha's character is altruistic and good spirited, and instead of giving up, she fights for her relationship. How many ladies these days are as dedicated? It's a good example of friendship in a relationship and seeking the good of the two rather than living for oneself and what you can get out of it. |

| | One of the funniest movies of the 70's | Tianello 08/12/2010 | | I have been trying to find this movie for almost 40 years. My husband and I saw it in 1971 and thought it was hysterically funny. Bologna and Taylor, who are married in real life, play an Italian and a Jew, and there's a scene when he brings her home to meet his mother that is priceless. For some reason, it is not available on DVD or video, to my knowledge. I once caught the tail end of it on AMC. Haven't seen it since. |

Genre: Comedy
Director: Richard Benjamin
Cast: Peter O'Toole, Jessica Harper, Lainie Kazan, Mark Linn-Baker, Joseph Bologna, Bill Macy, Anne DeSalvo, Basil Hoffman, Lou Jacobi, Cameron Mitchell
The year is 1952, and the TV show "The Comedy Cavalcade" is about to debut starring an aging film star. One of the show's young writers is given the job of watching over the film star and ensuring that he does not come into contact with any alcohol before showtime. This film gives an inside look at the pressures of those days when TV was "live" and anything could happen. Peter O'Toole was nominated for an Oscar. 1 User Review

| | A fine comedy. 6 or 7 scenes are worth their weight in gold. | 1fatts 03/12/2007 | Richard Benjamin's first directing job is surprisingly assured and successful. The apocryphal story is that when Mel Brooks was the junior writer on Sid Ceaser's Your Show of Shows, the reknowned actor, womanizer and drunk, Errol Flynn, was scheduled to be the week's guest, and Mel Brooks was assigned to babysit Flynn and make sure he showed up sober. Brooks claims it never happened and, in fact, that Flynn was never on the show. Who cares! It's a great premise anyway. Peter O'toole turns in another over-the-top performance as the Flynn character, here named "Allan Swan". Those of us old enough to remember Caeser in his hayday really appreciate the take that Joseph Bologna does on the character. The scene where the young writer, Stone nee Steinberg, takes the matinee idol home to Brookyn for dinner (His aunt shows up in her wedding gown; "I only wore it once" she says in a New York Yiddish accent.) is hard to over-appreciate.
The movie lags here and there and ten or twelve minutes of tightening would have been to the good, but I'm quibbling. The cast shines; the writing is sharp; and the nod to "Your Show of Shows" brings warmth to those of us who remember when. |

Even a parking garage can be a place to meet someone of the opposite sex as advertising executive Teddy Pierce (Gene Wilder) discovers. The object of his obsessive interest is beautiful model Charlotte (Kelly LeBrock) who is wearing a red dress. The movie is filled with hilarious moments as the previously content, married Teddy tries to find ways for a tryst. Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called to Say I Love You" won an Oscar for Best Song.
