That was my Grandma's kitchen in the 1970's in Providence, Sunday Gravy bubbling on the stove top, tap water by the glass, tupperware in the cupboard, Italian bread on the table, I love this movie
Such a real portrayal of the Italian family in that era...I so miss it myself...Kudos to Anne Bancroft, Dom Delouise, and the rest of the cast for such marvelous acting in this.
I'm not Italian, but from my observation, they seem to be one group of people who actually *embrace* their cultural stereotypes, rather than get offended over them.
Sausage...That was Sal's favorite...He'll NEVER eat a pizz AGAIN! Oh I love this movie. I got my kids all in their 20's using lines from this movie. "You don't know how to run your plate" is one. RIP Dom and Anne. Classic stuff. Dom Deluise GOLD.
@@fscap811 I disagree because later in the movie he says the candle snuffer smells like buttered beets so obviously beets are a big part of this family’s history
@@GrampaJoe I spent 35 years in the Bronx, believe me when I say "abeets" means pizza to many Italian Americans, including my own relatives. It has nothing to do with actual beets, it's a phonetic spelling of what they're saying
@@fscap811 never, in my life have I heard someone call pizza abeets. I’ve been asking people since you first lashed out at me and currently no one young or old has recognized the term
So me being born in the early 1990's and this movie made so much earlier than me. My parents wanted me to watch this movie as a lesson to learn about the dangers of compulsive eating and Obesity. It was etched in my younger days when I was 5-6 years old. Now I practice and breath controlled eating and healthy calorie intake to this day and I am 28 years old now
The opening is sad. Dom's cousin died at 39. Sal was young and so big. It's a lesson for fat and obesity people to learn what's happens as a compulsive eater. Even myself as well. My diet continues and I'm doing the wise thing. Poor family.
If they remade this movie today, the title alone would set off the fat acceptance movement people as "fat shaming." And they would have to cast a MUCH larger guy for Dom DeLuise's role....because by today's standards he's not obese in the slightest; he's chubby. The oversized casket, sadly, is not that far off today from what I saw on a Jamie Oliver special he did a few years ago on obesity in America.
Dom always struggled with weight, but I agree, at this point in his life, he really wasn't *that* fat, but he *did* get considerably larger and larger as he got older. While fat shaming is, indeed, an all-too real thing (a victim of it myself), a *lot* of what this movie conveys, even back then, is still all too real today: the whole scene with the diet doctor and the never-ending list of things you *can't* eat still hold today. Even the emotional torment you go through of thinking people won't accept or love you because of your size continues to remain true today, which is why I find this movie so relatable.
I love how they put Anne Bancroft in the hair rollers and crappy housewife housecoat like that was going to make us all forgot what a gorgeous woman she was.
This is why I don't like funerals! Ive never gone to one and probably won't go to one! Too much weeping and anguish! Had to keep it mute, I could barely watch a minute of it. ;...(
@@karlhungus8841 I think it’s a NYC thing from any of the boroughs. I spoke to the Italian teacher at school once, she said if I went to Italy and spoke that way, people would say,” Why are you speaking like a old man?” Well my ancestors did come here over 100 years ago! lol
When he dips the bread in the sauce then directly into the cheese.. what a move
Power move.
@4862cjc YES! It’s like a shot of whiskey to him.

Correct yourself on the use of the term gravy I don’t give a fuck if you wrote this last year take responsibility for what you post online.
You know what your problem is? You don’t know how to run your plate!🤣

I grew up with a cast of characters like this....oh God how I miss & long for those days to return.......but they happen only in my dreams now

They say “our beets”
@@GrampaJoe It's "abeets", what some NY Italians call pizza probably imitating a relative that spoke broken english

@10:57 - "you know something junior? you don't know how to run your plate"
every italian american born in the 40's & 50's can identify with this film one hell of a gem

My mother took me to see this movie in Seekonk Mass in 1980, we laughed the whole time

I wouldve loved to see them filming this! Im sure the two of them were laughing their asses off!
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
"It's your sister Antoinette. We just calmed my mother down. Now, she's got to start it all over again."
:D

Pamela S. True.
Ironically in real life, fat Dom out lived everyone in this film except Lydia
No, Richard Karron (Sony Loffalato) did!
@7:39 - no way is that coffin getting into that grave
I love how they put Anne Bancroft in the hair rollers and crappy housewife housecoat like that was going to make us all forgot what a gorgeous woman she was.
She was still very attractive, even in her older age.
Ron Carey !!!
Swiftus Lazerus and Officer Levitt. His humor was underrated.

How do you know you don't like them if you've never been to one?
Nobody likes funerals
One of the funniest sleepers ever,just sayin'
The goddamn box is too big for the hole!..🤣🤣
wow thanks. i've haven't seen this movie in a year!
One of the Funniest Sleeper movies EVER,just sayin'
Seen this movie mamy times, love it each time!
All so true
Audio too low.
@ 12:32 there was a cliche that gave him those dance moves☺☺
Filmed back in the 70's
Great movie!!!
The good people are the fat people because they do what makes him happy. The fat people die young because you do it makes him happy.
How did they get Sal’s casket in and out of the house?
12:10 what did Ron say? Em-bech? I gotta know
and bam! i'm going to work!
I don’t know the exact translation because it’s slang but my family used Em-beh to say “what do I care?” that’s that!” “End of story!” Etc...lol 😂
