Oh, Marty, for shame, for shame! Eunice was Madeline Kahn, and if you have seen "Blazing Saddles" or "Young Frankenstein", you will know her as a favorite of Mel Brooks. Here she is in her very second film appearance. And yes, if you re-watch yet again, there is an even earlier clue that Larrabee is drawn to her. See if you can catch him exclaiming, in the party scene at his home "Who is that brave, unbalanced woman?"; and in that same scene he demands that they take their hands off her. Larrabee is the versatile and brilliant Austen Pendleton, who, if you have watched "My Cousin Vinny", is one of the lawyers (I can't describe further; if you haven't seen the movie, I don't want to spoil it). The movie has three Mel Brooks actors: Kahn of course; Kenneth Mars is Howard's competition for the grant. He is Inspector Kemp in "Young Frankenstein" and Franz Liebkin in "The Producers". Liam Dunn is the Judge: he was the Reverend in "Blazing Saddles" and has a tiny role as the Old Man on the Gurney in "Young Frankenstein". I have to stop: the movie is so chock-full of talent, I could overload your comment section spouting. But I am so glad you liked this: it's a family favorite.

"Use your charm" One of my favorite comedies. Very much inspired by the film "Bringing Up Baby" starring Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn, another of my favorite comedies. The multiple identical bag mix up was borrowed from the French comedy "Oscar". "Oscar" was later remade, directed by John Landis and starring Sylvester Stallone. It also has the bit concerning the multiple identical bags. But people wrongly accused it of stealing it from "What's Up Doc?" when it was actually from the original "Oscar" from the 60s. The remake of "Oscar" is terribly underrated and very funny. The director of Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, said that its car chase was inspired by the chase in "What's Up Doc?. I'd say it was also inspired by the car chase in "For Your Eyes Only" since both feature a little yellow car that is hardly what you'd expect a superspy to drive. Another great Ryan O'Neal film is "Paper Moon". It's also directed by Peter Bogdonovich. An unrelated film I'd like to recommend is "A Face in the Crowd". It's a great film that's still relevant today. Maybe even more so.

It's a pleasure to see you react to this! At the time of its release, Love Story was quite recent (still occasionally showing up in theaters -- movies stayed in release a long time back then), so Ryan O'Neal saying that its famous tagline "Love means never having to say you're sorry" was "the dumbest thing I ever heard" was especially funny, and even a bit shocking. One bit of trivia that you didn't read to us: Hugh Simon, the supercilious musicologist with the outrageous accent and the floppy hair, was directly modeled on the critic John Simon, who was active at the time. Mr. Simon was famous for his Serbo-Hungarian accent and his sneering loathing for many popular favorites, including Peter Bogdanovich and Barbra Streisand (he would go on and on about her extreme ugliness). So this was a chance to make fun of him.

This is, for my money, one of the 10 best written comedies of all time. Just absolutely stellar. If you haven't seen Young Frankenstein, may I recommend it. Also, if you haven't seen Clue, you absolutely MUST see that as well. Both are brilliant, iconic comedies with stellar, stacked casts but also feature more of the one of a kind Madeline Kahn (who debuted in this film as Eunice Burns). I knew you weren't a Eunice fan but that's because Madeline was NAILING the role. She's a comedy GENIUS (who we, sadly, lost too soon) and her performances in Young Frankenstein and Clue are TIMELESS. For more Barbra Streisand, may I recommend The Owl and The Pussycat as a follow up to this film. Obviously Funny Girl is the film that MADE her as a very young performer, but The Owl and the Pussycat makes for a SENSATIONAL follow up to this one. This really is Ryan O'Neal's best work. He was in many dramas, but I think he was at his best in comedy. If you wanted to follow him up in a drama, I'd say go with Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon... (see The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, and Dr. Strangelove first tho). It's a mixed bag but maybe the most beautiful film ever lit by natural light in cinematic history (and O'Neal really stretches as an actor in it). It was a JOY to get to ride along while you enjoyed this.

Love this movie. Saw it at least a dozen times on first release (once I sat through it 4 times in a row). Favorite line: "you made me smash my LifeSavers" - also loved the Chinatown parade where they are playing "La Cucaracha" on their instruments. The reason the bailiff opened court like he was an auctioneer helped to hide the fact that the judge could have been Judy's father - he says it all so quickly that it glosses over the "Judge Maxwell presiding" at the end, so you don't connect that Judy has the same last name. Side story - that scene where the two cars crash as Barbara Streisand is crossing the street to the hotel - Bogdanovich had a crew member rent two cars for the scene and stressed that he needed collision insurance on both cars. He filmed the scene, then returned the crashed cars to the rental agency.

I've only seen Gaynor and Garland. I like them both, but perhaps Gaynor's has a leaner, tighter script. But Garland and James Mason, and Garland singing, and Mason just ... talking.... sigh.... You should get to know Frederic March, one of the greats of his generation. Later in life, he and Spencer Tracy tear up the screen together in "Inherit the Wind", a great, great movie. He does a great "Jekyll and Hyde"; a thoughtful, humor touched tragic role in "Best Years of Our Lives". Just to name a couple of options.

But, please, I beg this of you: take a screen-cap of your image from this vid to replace your current KZbin avatar/icon: the latter is not at all flattering, whereas you are looking *damn fine* these days and the delight in your face here is much more charismatic. Also, a bit of trivia for y'all: in the original theatrical release and VHS form of this film, that "Love means never having to say you're sorry" line was first met by O'Neal's look and then a cut back to Streisand's face, and she blinked five times in rapid succession while maintaining that open-mouthed/glassy-eyed expression you see at the end of her line. It was hilarious parody of the sentimental pathos of "Love Story"...but it was cut from the DVD release and perhaps subsequent digital forms. The film's script is endlessly quotable, but that rapid-fire-blinking shot is a visual element that deserves to be included among the toppers.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this movie was inspired in part by screwball comedies of the 40s. Bringing Up Baby is very much worth a watch as is Arsenic and Old Lace (also with Cary Grant).

One of those comedies that stays fresh even after rewatching (unlike _Love_ _Story_ - a soapy Rom which has definitely aged). The comedy has held up remarkably well over the last half-century, even though the suitcase mix-up has been used in several films since. Great comments, and the info about the final animation was quite interesting. Streisand was a stage actress before going into film. _Funny_ _Lady_ fell short of _Funny_ _Girl_ - mostly due to the writing. The best version of _A_ _Star_ _Is_ _Born_ is the 1954 version with Judy Garland. As far as suggestions, I'd recommend _All_ _About_ _Eve_ or _The_ _Philadelphia_ _Story_ - another screwball comedy). The best _Sunset_ _Boulevard_ next - Great choice and I'm looking forward to your take on that one!

I'd recommend LOVE STORY simply to 'get the joke' at the end of LOVE STORY. Also, there's a young Tommy Lee Jones (as Oliver's roommate) as well as a glimpse of John Marley before he becomes a big famous Hollywood producer in THE GODFATHER... y'know, the one who sleeps with horse's heads.

From back in 1972, The Godfather is the first movie I saw that had no credits at the start. It was trailblazing and seem to remember that the producer had to pay a fine to either the director's guild or the actor's union for doing it that way. Hardly any producer/director had the skill of Alfred Hitchcock in making opening credits exciting as he did for Psycho, Vertigo, North by Northwest, etc. 12:14 The Croatian musicologist Kenneth Mars also played the old Nazi soldier in The Producers and Otto Mannkusser on TV in Malcolm In The Middle.

A great throwback to the screwball comedies of the 30's. Wonderful cast of characters. I saw this film not long after it came out. My personal favorite film of Ryan O'Neal is The Driver from 1978. Very overlooked film worth checking out.

Eunice Burns is played by Madeline Kahn in her first feature. She is in Young Frankenstein. After you watched A&C Meet Frankenstein 1948, you said you were going to watch Young Frankenstein. If you go to the IMDB (International Movie Data Base), you can look up film titles or actors for more information. I do enjoy your comments.

The Delivery boy they stole the bicycle/wagon from was actually Ryan O'Neal's son or younger brother...I wasn't clear on that.

Nice discovering your channel! Thoroughly enjoyed your video. The "annoying fiancee", Madeleine Kahn, was a phenomenal actress. She's also brilliantly annoying starring with Ryan O'Neal again in, Paper Moon (1973) and fantastic in, Clue (1985).

This is one of my favorite movies. They made one of the most romantic couples of that time. The chemistry was quite real! "The Main Event" is another one of those romantic movies with them on. If you want to see Ryan on another film, one of my favorite is "Paper Moon" Thank you for bringing Ryan back!! BTW Could you be more adorable?

Here's a gem of a movie from my childhood! I was 13 when this movie premiered and my family went to see it. You mentioned "The Love Bug," (another happy memory for me), which we'd seen several years before "What's Up Doc?" If you want to see another forgotten gem with a great San Francisco car scene, watch "Foul Play" (1978) with Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase. Dudley Moore and Burgess Meredith play hilarious roles in this comedy, too. "Foul Play" has that wonderful and elusive combination of humor and scariness. You won't be disappointed!

There used to be an urban legend that the Volkswagen bug could float. Still don't know if it's true.
@MoviesWithMarty8 ай бұрын
Haha really? Hmm... maybe this needs trying out. I've seen a few film scenes with floating VW bugs now and they've all been floating... maybe they were on to something!
@johnclawed8 ай бұрын
@@MoviesWithMarty Oh yes really. That's why the car floating is a joke in the movie. This is like Louis throwing the bottle of Vichy Water in the garbage at the end of Casablanca, which young reactors don't even notice. The Vichy government was made up of collaborators, and Louis has helped the Germans for the last time. In 1941 no one in the audience would have missed that. So much is forgotten.

It kind of surprised me seeing several actors who also appeared in Mel Brooks' movies. Also recognized the actor who played the sidekick to the bad guy in "The Muppet Movie" - 1979 (rich guy - who ended up with Madeline Kahn's character). For more Streisand - recommending "Hello Dolly"

Hey Marty! New subscriber - here are some movies I'd love for you to watch (I couldn't find these on your channel): it happened one night, the shop around the corner, rope, all about eve, the apartment, rebecca, some like it hot, the sting, paper moon, time after time, seems like old times, deathtrap, evil under the sun (1982), victor/victoria, overboard, dead again, sneakers, shining through, Dave, the fugitive, copycat, primal fear, gross point blank, blast from the past, snatch, gosford park, identity, and werewolf by night. Tried to give you ones I (mostly) haven't seen many reactors do, but I'd love to see your brand of reaction to them. Thanks!

If you like another car chase in San Francisco that is homage and also original, The Dead Pool (1988). No, not the popular Deadpool but Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry Dead Pool. Of course, before that there's Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, The Enforcer and Sudden Imapact first all about another San Francisco cop named Harry Callahan. Of course, the first, Dirty Harry is mentioned in David Fincher's Zodiac movie.

Yes! Great idea! How could they have missed it? Crashing the Dragon into a Chinese Restaurant...funny as hell. The Volkswagen Beetle floating in the water was a joke of the day...people claimed they could float the car on water, and if Senator Ted Kennedy had only driven one he wouldn't not have downed his ""girlfriend" when he went off the bridge in the fog at night. Ted survived...it was a big scandal

Madeline is more like "lin" or maybe "lun," not "line," pronunciation-wise. (In Kahn's case.)
