What's Up, Doc? (1972) | Favorite Movie Review

[@Chrisfeb68]

One of my all-time favourite movies.

[@Shadowsnshades]

My favorite scene in the film is Madeline Kahn as she's being dragged out of the hall. Her heels making two serpentine skid marks as they take her away. Hilarious!

[@andrewray5558]

I've been a film critic for years, and I have always maintained "What's Up Doc?" is nothing short of the greatest comedy ever made!

[@patriciahilbish3982]

Agree. I'm 61 years old. Saw this as a young teen. I've seen a lot of comedies, but I've never seen one as funny as this one. It has FB and web pages devoted to it. It's my 'go to when blue' movie.

[@andrewray5558]

@@patriciahilbish3982 Thank you! It is still the funniest movie ever made!

[@Newmoonsept2024]

I first watched this on HBO in 1978 when I was 15 yo.This was exactly the time when Natiomal Lamppons Animal House was ruling the comedy world...as I get older though Whats up Doc keeps edging up as maybe hthu funniest film of all time ...he some" like it some don't..

[@Newmoonsept2024]

Some like it Hot some don't.

[@harriz24]

My favorite comedy of all time! Streisand, O’Neil and Kahn are perfection! I watch it at least once a year. It never gets old. This movie made me a lifelong Barbra Streisand fan. My friends and I quote the film often. You’re upside down, Eunice that’s a person named Eunice? By next week? Use your charm. Lol

[@fredtheilig2710]

Calling Ryan O'Neal Steve must be a nod to To Have and Have Not where Lauren Bacall's character calls Bogart's character Steve.

[@singermicke]

I absolutely LOVE this movie!! Saw it the first time on tv when I was a child, not knowing about it and what to expect. Bought the dvd some years later. Have since watched it at least 20-25 times. My favorite movie ever. Been some years since I watched it now, but think I still now all of it almost by heart. Just started to long to watch it again. Sadly, I know only like 3 people who’ve seen it, including my brother. There’s no reactions or reviews here on it, so thank you for this!!

[@hknapp-hj2sn]

Did you ever notice that the glockenspiel marching band in the Chinatown parade is playing "La Cucaracha" to a very odd meter? It's a nearly unrecognizable detail, but totally funny.

[@Weiselberry]

No, I don't think I did, haha!

[@billolsen4360]

And, performed by the world famous Chinese Marching Xylophone Band of Mexico City.

[@williamblakehall5566]

I apologize if I already said so, but while I'm not big on this movie, it's a favorite of my best friend's. My own favorite moment is probably at the very end, when Streisand says "Love means never having to say you're sorry." I'm so old that I saw this when it first came out, and that line was a catchphrase from the infamously successful Love Story, which O"Neal had just starred in opposite Ali MacGraw. That line was everywhere at the time, getting repeated left and right. So when O'Neal replies "That's the dumbest thing I ever heard" -- oh, I wanted to cheer and applaud, such catharsis. For that alone I could have thanked this movie, but it has other charms too. And by the way: you're out of the car and back with your owls! And for that alone I could have thanked this video, but the review was good too. Owl be seeing you.

[@WolfGratz]

In fairness I thought Ray Milland put in a good performance for Love Story. And that's it really! Oh and I didn't mind the admittedly overly sentimental theme song.

[@jerryhase4520]

I saw this in the theater in 1972 with my Mom (I was 8 years old at the time). I loved it then and I still love it.

[@michaelpippa1540]

Excellent review! And yes, it might be the funniest movie ever made. I saw this in the theater five times when it first came out (but remember, a ticket cost $3 back then). And i agree, so many of our friends have never heard of it. People don't realize how hard it is to do good comedy, so much that passes for comedy today is so childish. It reminds me of the story when director George Seaton was visiting actor Edmund Gwenn on his deathbed. He said to his dying friend “All this must be terribly difficult for you, Teddy.” (his nickname). Replied Gwen , “Not nearly as difficult as playing comedy.” He was right. Keep up the good work Jerome!

[@robertburke5354]

Thanks for reviewing this forgotten classic. I saw it in the theatre in it's first release, and it was hugely popular at the time.

[@JesusShuttlesworth]

I have to agree with you, funniest movie I've ever seen. Watched it for the first time in March of this year and legit can't stop thinking about it lol

[@tomg1776]

In the recent release of her autobiography, Barbra noted that she and O'Neal had started "dating" (or hook-up) before the film was even set up for production with Warner Brothers. When she was approached by Peter Bogdanovich, she told him she wanted O'Neal in the film. But by the time they started to film the movie, their little affair was pretty over - he wanted a free and easy, no commitment arrangement while Barbra was pushing for a little more security. They stayed as friends and had a blast making the movie, but there were a few times the strain of their relationship was tough on Barbra. And of course, years later they reunited for The Main Event. Another side note, Barbra has an odd sense of humor, or lack of - though her 25-year marriage to James Brolin has grounder her, at the time of the film she thought it would tank, so she sold her profit points back to Warner and cashed out. What's Up Doc was the 3rd grossing film in 1972 - a huge hit and she end up losing 2-3 million dollars. (by the way, I saw it at a drive-in theater in Santa Rosa CA with my family, we all loved it)

[@dappylu]

This is one of my favorite comedies along with 'Topper Returns', 'Arsenic & Old Lace', 'It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World', 'Blazing Saddles', the 'Naked Gun' movies, 'Some Like It Hot', 'Robin Hood: Men In Tights', 'Airplane', 'Murder By Death', 'Uncle Buck' & a few others.

[@RSEFX]

I guess I should watch this one again. I haven't seen it since saw it on its original release. Your commentary makes me think it's time for this kind of laugh again!

[@PaulTesta]

So, did you ever revisit "What's Up, Doc?"

[@bluebat7496]

I have not seen this movie in years, but I still remember Howard and Judy with the Chinese dragon and the cart.🤣

[@BuffaloC305]

A year after this original post, I'm finding it After five decades of occasional rewatchings, it always holds up. If there is any sadness, it's realizing how fantastic audiences would find Madeline Kahn and how much I miss her work. This is one of the greatest debut performances I've ever seen, and it always impresses me how grand she performs. That countdown... those shrieks... and her bubbly pushiness which closes her scene. I can't name this funniest-ever-scene FOR ME because, well, I'm simply laughing too much to quantify. Heck - all the other contenders must be less, though, because they DO give me time enough to at least ponder counting and analsys - WHAT'S UP DOC does not. Does that make it my winner, too, then? MAY BE!

[@ainsleyperry5192]

Jerome, The biggest problem with this film is it's hardly shown anywhere any more. Which is so sad because this film is so good. Cheers, Chris Perry.

[@davidgoulden5956]

I salute your taste. This film is a sheer delight.

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

R.I.P., Mr. Ryan O'Neal.

[@philarmstrong3765]

Wow, i watched this on the big screen with my mom, too, 50 years ago. Never forgot it and now I own it and have laughed over it many times. NEVER underestimate the importance of owning hard media. You're the best JW! Keep up the great work!

[@chrisstilley9365]

I remember when this came out in the early 70s,It seemed an odd duck in a new world of cynical pictures, but I saw it recently in a theater revival and oh what fun and a huge crowd pleaser. The Owl and the Pussycat is another Streisand comedy from this time that I enjoy.

[@aluminumfence]

I actually met Peter Bogdanovich once at a Chiller Theater. He's very nice but very quiet and I got the impression between that and his interviews that he's one of those people who's very interesting once you get them talking but you have to work a bit to get them talking.

[@citeriorcf]

He's a very funny guy. Love his interviews so much. He has so many funny anecdotes with classic film directors and actors.

[@WolfGratz]

An enjoyable and fun homage to screwball comedies by one time potential genius Peter Bogandovich prior to his career nosediving. This was a genuine loss to film lovers everywhere though he remained a very good reviewer and commentator. I enjoy it a lot although it appears much better due to the dross released around that period (and yes I was a teenager at that time) The best moment is of course still the final line (esp for those of us who were teenagers and remember Love Story). Certainly well worth catching

[@scottjo63]

Darn, I forgot that

[@PaulTesta]

This film is in my Top 5 favorite comedies! Great cast - Kahn is absolutely brilliant. As someone else said, not a big Streisand fan, but she's excellent as the free-spirited sprite in the female lead role. O'Neal, Mars, Pendleton, Dunn, Booke, Hillerman. Even John Byner (uncredited). All terrific. Saw this in the theatre in my home town, on a double bill with "Cold Turkey."

[@robseeley8621]

So glad you did this review. This movie is an unappreciated forgotten gem. My family grew up with this classic.

[@iluvmusicals21]

Love, love, love this movie! It is the perfect blend of physicality and whitty banter. I'm always shocked that more people haven't seen this gem.

[@davefuller3311]

Very good review of a great movie. Judy, "I know I'm different, but from now on I'm gonna try to be the same. Steve (Howard), "The same as what?" Judy, "The same as people who aren't different."

[@leslauner5062]

My Dad and I went to see this in the theater...and laughed ourselves sick. We went back 8 more times to see this underrated gem.

[@AMERASIAN12]

Barbra Streisand looks so beautiful in this movie.

[@yavaechols8308]

Stunningly gorgeous!

[@ezekial1925]

You are always so cute and upbeat! Thanks for the great reviews!

[@Weiselberry]

I'm glad you enjoy them!

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

The production didn't get permission from the city to drive cars down the stairs in Alta Plaza Park. The steps were badly damaged, and some of the damage is still visible today.

[@BlueOriginAire]

I watched certain favorites every year. Like an anniversary. Thank You for restoring my faith in our young adults. Your vivid memory with your mom and this love story is why l am here to say Thank You.

[@talltulip]

What a fabulous review! I, like you, try to tell people about how hilarious this movie is, but most people have no clue. I saw this movie in the theater when it first came out, and I promise you the entire audience was in hysterics. I also think that the courtroom scene with the cranky judge is gold.

[@Rhubba]

I love how the jokes are set up in advance and pay off later in this movie and also the one event triggering the next in the chase sequence: I always laugh when I see Judy and Howard knock the garbage cans over, which roll down a hill and start chasing a pedestrian who then has to leap over a fence for his safety only to land in a garden restaurant on someone's table as they eat. I am HUGH!

[@MortonGoldthwait]

The performance and tone of a joke is just as important as the writing and timing. My personal favorite line is when gold club guy shouts "Follow that cab! I'm with the government!" and not Gene Hackman says with a smile "Oh! Alright!" I've seen What's Up Doc well over a dozen times and it still holds up as my favorite comedy.

[@pfarden5836]

This movie really is a hidden gem. Glad you reviewed it. It really was patterned after "Bringing up Baby." like Eastwood's "Pale Rider" was patterned after "Shane."

[@hoover2501]

I'm so glad I stopped and watched your review of this movie. Your enthusiasm is spot on and when you talked about the hotel detective using his charm I began to laugh because I find that part hilarious too. I saw this in the movie theaters with my parents as a child and remember how much we enjoyed this comedy as a family. It's amazing that it's also rated G, which is a rarity these days even for Disney movies. It made me want to sit down with you and everyone else who loves it as much as we do. One of my favorite scenes is when the unassuming man is just walking down the street in San Francisco and suddenly garbage cans are rolling and bouncing all around him forcing him to jump over the fence and onto an unsuspecting lunch goers table. Thank you for your review. Absolutely in my top 10 movies of all time. It has a special place in my heart that are shared by only one or two other movies. And if you must know the other two movies are Breaking Away and Being There.

[@joylederman4501]

Hi Jerome, Just rewatched "What's Up Doc,?" after seeing this review. I remember laughing so hard at this movie when it was first released. I still remembered the basic premise of the film and immediately recalled Judy's line to the Judge as soon as I saw his face in this review. But I totally forgot about the last line of the movie, which had me in stitches upon this viewing. I'd never really made the connection to earlier Screwball Comedies until seeing this review (I've always loved "Bringing up Baby", "Some Like it Hot", and other silly films from the Black-&-White era that reduced me to giggle fits when I first saw them as a kid). I didn't know that this was Madeline Kahn's first movie performance; she played very similar characters in the Mel Brooks movies she was cast in, with those performances often being a highlight of the show. Thanks for inspiring me to look for this movie today!

[@justinplayfair4638]

What a day brightener...a review of one of my favorite comedies by one of my favorite reviewers! It's been a while since I've watched it...will have to get the Bluray. I recently heard that Streisand doesn't like the movie, and didn't like it while t was being made. Such a shame, because it's probably one of her most appealing performances. I love the entire cast, but I've come to think of Austin Pendleton as the film's secret weapon. Funny and charming, he's like the glue holding everything from flying apart!

[@Weiselberry]

Apparently Streisand didn't think it was funny. However, when she watched it years later, she felt differently. Austin Pendleton's part is essential! Love the line under the table when he assures Hugh that everything's fine, "we're just chatting," as if it's the most natural thing in the world. :)

[@MichaelJShaffer]

Peter Bogdanovich was an enormous fan of old Hollywood and had interviewed many of the greats for Esquire and MOMA. He was particularly close to Howard Hawks and Orson Wells. If you haven't seen it already, be sure to check out Paper Moon. Bogdanovich directing Ryan O'Neal again but in black-and-white with Tatum O'Neal's Oscar winning performance. I love this movie and anyone that thinks Streisand can't act needs to watch "Nuts". Amazing performances by some all-time-great Hollywood.

[@zefallafez]

There are movies I went to when I was really young that were way over my head, this is one of them. The product of being the youngest of seven and going to movies as a family. The only thing I had remembered about the movie from that time was not understanding why the Ryan O'Neal character was marrying someone who was so much older than him. Peter Bogdanovich on the commentary from the Paper Moon DVD said Madeline Kahn was very willing to let them make her up as they wished but was then horrified by how she looked when she saw the movie. Her glam role in Paper Moon was Peter's restittution. TCM just ran this movie and Ben Mckenwicz interviewed Peter Boganovich. P.B. said Barbra wasn't thrilled with how during rehearsals Kahn was getting all the laughs and went on to say Barbra never thought the movie was funny until sometime in the recent past.

[@philipgior3312]

I remember my mother and her best friend (whose daughter I was in love with - though I didn't know it yet) taking us to see this movie at Radio City when it first came out when I was a little kid. I also remember liking it a lot as well as the Rockettes Easter Show which followed it. Amazingly though, I have never seen it since. I'll be on the lookout for it now though, after this fantastic review! Funniest movie you've ever seen? Wow, now I know I have to see it. Stay safe and healthy Jerome!

[@brandoncaridi5229]

My all-time favorite movie- which confounds my friends because they don’t know what it is! I watched it at a family gathering at a very early age and it has stuck with me ever since. Aside from the fantastic, quick-witted dialogue, I am in constant awe of the comedic timing of the characters. Every scene in Floor 17 hallway with doors opening and closing comedically due to the plot make me appreciate it ten-fold. I always find something new to laugh at upon rewatch and will never tire of it. Great review!

[@sageantone7291]

The breaking of the fourth wall reminds me of Ferris Bueller's Day Off -- which is another film I'd love to see you review someday!

[@paulvoorhies8821]

My pick for Best Comedy of all time. It’s pure fun through and through. Kahn steals the show as THE Eunice Burns, though, I must say. Kenneth Marrs is almost as great. 5 star film all the way!! “Who is that DANGEROUSLY unbalanced woman?” Kahn should have been nominated for an Oscar here.

[@Kurtiscott]

My favorite moment has got to be the “as time goes by” scene. But I can’t help but agree with all of the highlights you pointed out as well. Between “the Last Picture Show”, this and “Paper Moon” Bogdanovich was on an absolute tare during this period. Unbelievable! Anyhow, I Really appreciate your concise and thoughtful reviews. And also your wide ranging tastes in so many time periods and genres. That’s why I just subbed.

[@Weiselberry]

Thank you!!

[@iluvmusicals21]

Watched your review again just now. So enjoyable to see you so enthusiastic about one of my favorite movies as well as yours. I bought it on Prime so that I can watch it whenever I want. 😄

[@travistaylor5000]

Hilarious movie. Wife and I just watched What's up Doc couple weeks ago, my 2nd time, her 1st time. I just love the chase all over those hilly streets of San Francisco, especially on that curvy street. I love when all the cars chasing each other, spin around to go the other direction, and all 3 cars crash into and pretty much destroy that VW bus. Oh my goodness! Lol! I gotta buy the blu ray sometime! Great movie review! I give it 5 stars out of 5. Best comedy ever, possibly!

[@MikeADee]

While I've heard of this movie I've never seen it. While researching this film I discovered some interesting trivia, it was the 3rd highest grossing movie of 1972 ( $66 million vs a budget of $4 million) and the only movies to beat it that year were The Poseidon Adventure and the Godfather. Very impressive I'll have to give it a look.

[@Weiselberry]

It's keeping good company!

[@PaulTesta]

So, did you ever get around to watching "What's Up, Doc?"

[@deborahh2556]

I totally agree with you on this one. Funniest movie ever. If you're not paying full attention, you miss little things that make it hysterically funny; such as the scene when the older lady found her case of jewels missing and she's on the ground crying and whining, and suddenly her voice trails off and she looks up and everyone is staring at her rather expressionless. It's just the way they did that scene that I always remembered because it's those details that make it so funny moment by moment. This is comedy at its absolute best. Also, loved the part where the garbage cans roll down the street and the guy that's running from them... brilliant!!! Such an unexpected addition. And yes, just when you think you couldn't laugh any harder, in comes the judge and the scenes that follow. Your sides will hurt from laughter watching this movie.

[@LSUfan]

Wow, you reviewed one of my all-time favorite comedies!!!!!!!!!! Well done.

[@c3ll7j]

I love this movie! I'm so glad you got to talk about it, and you added lots of context to previous filmed that was wonderful.

[@TheNightBadger]

_"I have a message for you from the hotel staff."_ _"Really? What is it?"_ _"Leave."_ _"That's it? That's the entire message?"_ Part of Bogdanovitch's trifecta at the start of his career along with 'Last Picture Show' and 'Paper Moon'. All good movies, but 'What's Up Doc?' is my personal favourite. The final third of the Goldie Hawn movie 'Foul Play' from '78 has a very similar vibe.

[@davefsmith6040]

I just today found your channel.... I like your presentations.... I saw this and your review of Vertigo. ... I'd love to hear your review of Duck Soup by the Marx Brothers, or It's a Gift by WC Fields.... I think it's great that people realize that there were movies before the advent of CGI and color.... Keep up the great work... impressive -- I have seen it.and it's a fun movie - I was surprised how much I liked it - I only saw it a few months ago for the 1st time..... the Funniest? maybe we can debate about that at a later date, but definitely a joyful, silly wonderful comedy.

[@frankg7177]

Thanks for another enthusiastic review! On the topic of screwball comedies, I was wondering if you have ever seen "Private Lives", the 1931 film adaptation of Noel Coward's 1930 play, with Norma Shearer and Robert Montgomery in the lead roles and an excellent supporting cast, including Reginald Denny.

[@Weiselberry]

I have not!

[@kenpearl6693]

That was an excellent review of one of my favorite movies! I can't count how many times I've seen it, and I completely agree that the anticipation of the joke is just as satisfying as the joke itself.

[@bartolomeuomacduibheamhnad6855]

I really love this film, it's so funny :). " I don't think of you as a Woman Eunice, I think of you as Eunice" Lol. That scene when everyone is crouched under the table makes me laugh so much, it's the question about what the waiter served them that really gets me I think. Madeleine Kahn was really good, she was such a great comedic actor. I agree completely about the funniest scene probably being where the German concierge tells the little burly guy to use his charm to stall the lady and he then trips and kicks at her, it's shocking, so so funny. It's always such a fun film to see, it's one of those films you must watch when it's on, it reminds me a little of Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and Peter Sellers Pink Panther films in terms of its fast paced slapstick humour and gags and of course the great earlier films that you've mentioned in this brilliant review, films I really enjoy. :) ~ Thank you Ms Weiselberry ~

[@Weiselberry]

I was going to include a clip of the line, "What kind of wine are you serving at table one?", LOL. I ended up not using any audio clips, partly because of copyright and partly because you could hear me snickering in the background. :)

[@bartolomeuomacduibheamhnad6855]

[@andrewpragasam]

I can't be alone in thinking Peter Bogdanovich must have originally conceived the role of the judge with Cary Grant in mind. I mean the judge's last line is "Judy!"

[@richardbemelen7287]

Thanks again, JW. I haven’t seen this movie for many years; I first saw it when I was little, back in the late 70s. Back then, there used to be movies on the three Australian network TV stations, several nights per week. Sunday night was for premieres, and Friday was reserved for movies such as “What’s Up Doc.” Compliments on your delivery and presentation - you do it very well. Your enthusiasm and friendliness are very endearing, as well. I have many recommendations for you, and I’d like to let you know some of them. I’m not sure if you can receive private messages here; if you can, it would be easier to do it that way. I did see if it was possible, but there’s no button on your “About” page. For now, I’ll just tell you about a wonderful podcast called “Film Buff’s Forecast. It started out as a show on Melbourne community radio, but it transitioned to a podcast format a few years ago. Paul Harris has been presenting the show since 1981. It contains interviews; reviews; film music and lots more! I’ve been listening to it since the 90s, and I look forward to the release of each and every podcast! I’ll make one film recommendation, as well: “The Long Goodbye”, 1973; Directed by Robert Altman; starring Elliot Gould. Warm wishes from Australia.

[@Weiselberry]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the presentation. Private messages can be sent to the email address that's given on the "about" page if you wish. :)

This is also my favourite film. I love Judy... she has all the answers. 🥰

[@scottjo63]

Yep I was right, excellent review. They don't make good comedies anymore. What's Up Doc is a tad out of date, what no cell phones, lol. Other classic comedies, all recommendations, most Mel Brooks movies, my favs though, The Great Lebowski (my #1 favorite), Raising Arizona (both by the Coen Brothers), It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World, Young Frankenstein, Get Smart TV series, (yep the whole TV series, -hint hint-), Airplane, Top Secret, High Anxiety (Mel Brooks take on Alfred Hitchcock), Caddyshack. I'm sure I missed some. Again excellent Jerome Weisonberry review. Oh, Kingpin by the Farley Brothers and of course there are some great comedies from these guys, I'm sure There's Something Wrong About Mary is on the top on everyone's list. Sorry about hogging the comments and to change the subject, The Invisible Man 2020, high reccomendation watch, no not a comedy, but different then what you expect. Kept me on the edge of my seat and then some. Keep safe all.

Thanks for this review! Sounds like a funny movie. Madeline Kahn and Liam Dunn were both in Mel Brooks Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein together. Have you ever seen the original The Out Of Towners (1970) with Jack Lemmon?

Really funny stuff. An underrated 70's screwball classic ! There was an attempt to make this film into a TV series in the late 70's, but it didn't happen.

[@TheVCRTimeMachine]

One of my 10 favorite movies. Barbara Streisand never looked lovelier and Madeline Kahn was brilliant as always. My daughter and I quote this movie constantly.

[@billolsen4360]

Without Madeline, this movie would not be remembered. Can't think of anyone who could have done half as good in that role.

[@zardozspeakstoyou5625]

Definitely one of the funniest movies of all time! I can't make up my mind which is funnier: Bedazzled (1967) or this. I loved this since I first saw it on tv in the 70s, and was lucky enough to see it theatrically a few years ago. It definitely is a mood booster!

This is a perfect comedy I can watch anytime! I also recommend "Bringing Up Baby" which largely inspired this one!

[@izzyjackman7232]

Definitely one of my favorites!

As far as reviews go, You're the berry on the fresh cream top!

If you're interested in Casablanca,I think you'll enjoy this account of how it came together. You could also do a really funny version of "As time goes..... BYE!!!" Best Wishes! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX7ZeJiBqduip6M

Review “Take the Money and Run” when you’re in the mood for more quirky comedy. Woody Allen’s debut that had a really different feel to a lot of his later stuff.

[@billolsen4360]

Yes, the laughs still hold up!

[@bootstrapperwilson7687]

Must be my funniest film ever too. I can't think of another comedy that left me with painfully strained facial and belly muscles like this one did. "Oh god I can see."

Ahh, one of my favorites, ever since i was a kid. Showed it to my daughter when she was about 9, and i was happy to hear her call it her favorite movie a few years later. (I think it has since been surpassed by Barbie, but it's still high on her list.) I was laughing throughout your vid, remembering funny line after funny line (Yes Eunice; How much without buffering?; I am Hugh/You are me?/No, I am Hugh/Stop saying that). Never disappoints, this movie. Funny about Barbra Streisand and her possible annoyingness (04:49) -- I never felt that way, as opposed to Bringing Up Baby, where Katherine Hepburn IS so annoying to me. I don't dislike Hepburn, but that movie, oh man, she drives me batty. Which is why I keep Baby off any favorite comedies list -- as opposed to, say, His Girl Friday, which is a Hawks screwball that I adore.

Yes! I remember this movie well! It also contains a lot of the brand of humor found in Bugs Bunny/Looney Toons cartoons!

Oops, more from the hog of comments, more recommendations, All Of Me, Steve Martin, Lily Tomlin. Planes, Trains And Automobiles (for Thanksgiving), Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, and any with Jack Lemon and Walter Mathou. Sorry, sometimes Jerome Weisonberry gets the hog out of me. One of the best people on KZbin.

You should check out "Whats new Pussycat" with Peter Sellers.

[@brownies2001]

[@tommakkoo1357]

She’s also funny in “The Owl and the Pussycat”

1st thumb up without even watching, I JUST KNOW ITS GOING TO BE GOOD

[@orinanime]

If you want some zany comedy goodness featuring a comedy of errors with some bags in it, I'd recommend - Oscar & Noises Off!
