Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

gavin6942 The priceless Blue Water sapphire is coveted by the heirs of Sir Hector Geste: his new wife, Flavia; his daughter, Isabel; and his adopted twin sons, heroic Beau (Michael York) and pathetic Digby (Marty Feldman).I love this film, and it fits perfectly in with what Marty Feldman is known for -- the comedy style he perfected with Mel Brooks. I also love how he came up with including himself in the Gary Cooper version, and even having footage from the older version still. This really was the "last remake". (At least, over 35 years on... no one has tried it.)Spectacular comedy that can only be from Feldman and could only have been done in this era. Very much in the same style as "Young Frankenstein". I highly recommend this.

Kermittreefrog OK, First I have to say that about 15 years ago my friend and I were flipping through channels and we stopped on a channel (AMC I think) and found a movie that was so bizarre and so hilarious we couldn't take our eyes off of it to flip to the TV guide channel to see what it was, and by the time it was over we were in tears because 1) it was the funniest thing we ever saw and 2) we had no way of knowing what it was called which probably meant we would never be able to watch it again. So after sifting through many several movies after many man years I came up empty, that is until a few days ago when I typed in a search engine the one line I happen to recall from this comedic masterpiece. yes I had typed in this same line once before and I got nothing, but this time, GOLD! after putting in Quotation marks the line "Still alive and dieing" I found this site! in which 1 of your comments was that same quote. after seeing the name of the movie I typed in the movies name in the search engine and found more information on it, I believe this is it, Finally after years of thinking about it and wondering in agony what it was called. So I being a member of Net Flix tried to order it and to my dismay they don't have it. OMG I thought to myself, could this be true, after all this time of wanting to see it again and now I can't find it? So being the resourceful woman that I am, I went to EBAY, Truly a life saver!! After typing in the search for the movie I found that there were no copies that were selling for under $45.00 and that is for VHS. Could not believe it. But wait, there were some other choices picked up by the search that were not the full title or misspelled, and YAY, I found one. I bid on it with only 1 and a half days left on it and I got it for $10.00, What a steal! I haven't received it yet seeing as how I just paid for it last night but she shipped it today, so within a few days I will see, at last the most wonderful piece of movie art Hopefully,,,and will put my mind at ease after all these years. yay me! As for my friend who watched it with me she wondered for a long time what it was too, but we are no longer on speaking terms so she will have to continue to wonder, lol. Although I was thinking about calling her the other day just to tell her I found out, it would after all be cruel of me not to share this information, well, maybe I should,,, NAHHH! if you haven't seen the movie, I highly recommend it! and if you have seen it, see it again, you won't be sorry!! hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!

M Brown Man, I saw this movie in the theater with my parents.. I was so lucky.. they took me to every film they thought worthy...It was hot in Austin Texas and we loved the air conditioning..that's probably why we were there..but my young mind loved the satire (though I didn't know what it was) and man.. Michael York was a hottie!) I am so lucky.. my parents knew what they were doing...I saw some GEMS.. of course.. we're pretty base, unsophisticated folks so the movies we like won't set the world afire.. my mom and I had a great time discussing how wimpy Leslie Howard was as Ashley Wilkes in Gone With the Wind.. and we still laugh about Hannibal Lecter's Fava Beans... we've seen dogs do the same slurping thing.. at any rate... I have one question to ask...Why in the HELL isn't this on DVD??? For hell's sake, we've got Mariah Carey's films on DVD.. but we don't have one of Marty Feldman's greatest films on DVD??? This just goes to show that intelligence, taste and class has NO place in the film industry.. not really..And the sick thing is.. I freakin love movies.. I could spend every day watching films all day.. good God.. Now I have another reason to believe my parents warped me..:) seriously..folks, whether you believe these comments or not (and if I listened to all of the comments on this site, I'd have missed some FAB films) give this movie a chance...and for GOd's sake..if you find it on video.. HOLD ON TO IT.. it NEVER shows up on telly and it isn't on DVD.. and by rights it should.. right alongside Young Frankie and the rest...At any rate.. I owe Mr. Feldman a thank you.. he gave me some of the best laughs of my life..Thanks Marty, you're long gone and can't read this.. but maybe your family can.. you gave me some of the best laughs I can remember.. and you didn't have to swear to do it.. thanks, man.. my life is truly better for having seen ya..Sincerely, Mad Monica

adisondewit This movie played a thousand times when we got cable TV for the first time and it quickly became one of my late night favorites. Ann-Margret was never more beautiful and neither was Michael York! I watched it every time I could, probably 15 or 20 times. Years later, wondering if its attraction was merely to my adolescent humor, I watched it again and enjoyed it just as much when in my 30's. It has great lines, great laughs, great characters. I find that I still use quotes from this movie in my everyday conversations long after I'd forgotten where they came from. The slapstick humor of the late '70s is in full bloom in this movie and it's a close cousin in silliness to "Murder By Death".
