I remember Marty Feldman, having first seen him in TV's "At Last the 1948 Show" in the '60's and his eccentric brand of humour has not aged much. I say much because sadly the naughty sexual innuendo and double entendre's do make me wish for a simpler age. A time when the thought of aged Trevor Howard and an absolutely stunning Anne-Margaret heading for the bedroom to do "something creative with a chandelier and a feather duster" brought forth a chortle. The rest however is top notch improvisational comedy. Constantly watchable if not thigh-slappingly funny. It is a stream of amusement interspersed with runs of out loud laughter. The horse with the prosthetic leg matching his rider is brilliant. As another poster stated the large range of quality actors appearing is a tribute to Marty Feldman's professional standing. To see Darth Vader, er, I mean James Earl Jones doing a very funny parody of Terry-Thomas who actually appears in the film is wonderful. I liked Mel Brooks' "Men in Tights" which closely resembles "Last Remakes" style but somehow Marty could skew the humour that one more degree to make it just that little bit more eccentrically funny. It may seem a bit silly in parts now, but overall it is thoroughly enjoyable. And finding a child look-a-like for Marty Feldman made me push this films rating from a 7 to an 8.
I thoroughly enjoy this film & found it to be a hilarious surprise.
On accident, I picked up this oddly titled movie from the comedy section of my local video store, just hoping for a mildly entertaining flick for my boyfriend and I to sit down for the evening to. Now, it has proved itself to be one of our favorites. Marty Feldman was a great actor and I am continuously searching for more of his work. This movie is at the top of my list right next to The Producers.
This movie is hilarious, wish it was on DVD!
I had not seen the original Beau Geste, with Gary Cooper in the title role, when I saw this movie. After seeing this movie, including a *hilarious* 'cameo' of Gary Cooper, I watched the original. It only made me appreciate the humor in the Last Remake even more. The Last Remake (were there ever previous remakes?) parodies the story completely, but every other scene makes you laugh. The scene with Gary Cooper would almost certainly not be allowed on TV today due to censorship so you'll have to buy this movie on, ick, VHS to see it. But at a time when new releases are $10+ to see not including popcorn, paying about $20 for a VHS of this movie, and being able to show it to friends and watch it over and over, is worth it. Trust me on this :). "So that's why you talk so slow Big G."
"Screw faster, Boldini!"
Having seen this movie at least a dozen times, it is no secret that I'm a great fan of it. In my eyes it is THE best Feldman movie ever made. Especially enjoyable is the sadistic Markov portrayed brilliantly by Peter Ustinov. Quality gags and an all-star lineup simply can't be denied. Final verdict: 8/10.
"Still Alive and Dying..."
Warning: This will probably contain some spoilers. Okay, Marty Feldman is an underrated genius of comedy. If all you've ever seen him in is "Young Frankenstein", then I suggest you look for some of his other work, if you enjoyed him in that. This film, was his first turn in the director's chair, and I'd say he does a wonderful job. The beginning of this movie, with Marty Feldman coming out with a hat that says "Universal Studios Prop Dept." and picking the letters off off the spinning globe that is their logo is hilarious! Feldman plays Digby, the "twin" brother of Michael York's Beau, who is the big shot hero. I think York and Feldman have a certain chemistry about them, they played off each other well. Ann-Margret has the title role of their stepmother, which is quite humorous in itself. Their father remains on his death bed throughout the whole film and the running line is always, "How is father?" to be answered with, "Oh he's still alive and dying!" Another wonderful scene is Feldman's tribute to silent comedies. Digby's jail escape is done in total old school silent film style, and the transformation from color to black and white and then back to color again is well done. It's really quite funny. A real highlight. There's a lot of funny lines, a lot of absurd humor, on the whole...a good time. So, as I said earlier, if you enjoyed Marty Feldman in "Young Frankenstein", you should really check out some of his other work. These works, in my opinion, show that he not only was a very hilarious comedian, but also could actually act as well. 8/10
