Nobody does bad taste like Brooks.

Rating: 9/10 (27 August 2001)

I was almost clubbed to death for suggesting this one for a film night among friends. But it was worth it. Mostel was woefully underutilized in his career and one of the few filmed examples of his prowess at full tilt is this film. And Wilder's schtick was never better used than by Brooks - and not really understood by any other writer or director.
