My Favorite Moive My favorite movie of all time. I'm a classic movie buff and this story is warm, serious and funny all at once. Great acting. Great entertainment. Wonderful dialog.
Bor .... ing ! One of the few movies I walked out on when it played in the theater. Could never figure out the reason for Balsam's character who pops in and out at various times for no apparent reason. It doesn't even deserve one star, but there is no zero star rating. Save your time and money.
They might put him in with a whole family of listmakers! So many of the reviews already posted have begun with one of the one-liners of which this film is full. I think it is a fabulous film, though some might find it a little dated in some ways, but to me this has never mattered. For people who love Murray, as I do,to know how they feel about this film is to know something about them which is hard to put into words. I spent years trying to find it on video, particularly in a format I can watch in Britain, where i now live. I eventually came to the conclusion it must never have been released here. I now have a video player on which I can watch it, but hope the DVD which is coming will be in a format I can use.
Here's to you, Irving R. Feldman!
The classic of comedy Not only funny - this movie can teach you the art of comedy! Classic and indispensable to the theater artist and student of comedy.
"Nick, you can't have too many eagles!" Although I was born in '53, somehow I managed not to see this movie until '97. I was amazed by the quality of the acting and directing, as well as the humor and depth of the screenplay. It is simply one of the best movies I have ever seen. I agree with the other reviewers that it is a crime A Thousand Clowns is not available on DVD. It should be in the Criterion Collection, and given the full restoration treatment. Considering the garbage that has been transfered to DVD already, one can only hope that this gem will not remain forgotten.
