Best comedy - ever!

Rating: 10/10 (11 February 2002)

Coming up with a list of the funniest movies ever, is pretty hard (there are so many to choose from) but this movie is head and shoulders above the rest ("Blazing Saddles" is the only movie that can come close). This movie has got it all. Ernst Lubitsch was of the few people that used the restrictive Hays code to his advantage with his extremely witty and suggestive dialogue. Jack Benny and Carole Lombard are great but I will always have to say my favorite person in the movie was Sig Ruman. How he got most of the great lines over Benny, is beyond me. Only Robert Stack got the short end. Most of the time he was the straight man and compared to the rest of the cast came off looking a little stiff but someone had to carry the plot along. I hate it when people say this but this movie is one that everyone should see.
