At the beginning, Vicky and Ken! I immediately pictured Mama and Vinton...😅
And at the end, Carol showed signs of Nora Desmond. 😂
Carol's Bette Davis voice was spot-on! 😊
I saw Mr. Skeffington years ago. Such a memorable movie.
And this, such a great parody.
Oh, mama and Vinton! Mama's family is my absolute favorite show of all time!!

Job Well done. Carol Burnett embodied Franny.
So well done. The characters in that parody seemed so genuine in all the scenes. Except for one on purpose of course.
This was great!
Only Carol Burnett could make this movie funny! 😭😭😭
Never seen this one !
11:26 when the mirror breaks!
This sort of situation comedy IMO is where Ken Berry shined.
He was a LOT more talented than anyone ever gave him credit for. He was cast as the backwards dork so many times that he got stuck there. I guess maybe that’s where he wanted his career to be, but he could’ve gone so much further.
@@PartyOf8Please Only time I saw him as a dork was when "Mama's Family" the series went into syndication and he started his whole _stupid Vinton_ schtick, mimicking Don Knotts' Barney Fife mannerisms and speech, time and time again. Sometimes imitation goes beyond flattery. The character of Vinton Harper was different in the first two seasons, not as dimwitted, just a bit clumsy; but once the show had written out his two kids Sonya and Buzz completely-- along with Aunt Fran played by Rue McClanahan-- and brought in Iola and Bubba, the character of Vint was 100% a vapid fool. Frankly I'm not familiar enough with Berry's roles to know if he became typecast as a dolt. I did not know he had been.
They also changed Mama dramatically in season 3, due to the urgings of Harvey Korman because he felt that she could not be enjoyable as the main character if she remained crabby and cantankerous. Thelma Harper became a woman who liked to sing, knew everything about pop culture, enjoyed heartwarming stuff, and used modern slang. It was a big change, at least to fans like myself who adored the surly, no nonsense and hot-headed Mama of the 1970s sketches on seasons 7 through 11 of Carol's variety show.
Just remembered: Ken was really big on dancing (tap and such) and he even incorporated it into an early episode of "Mama's Family" so his character could be in a talent contest at The Bigger Jigger tavern. I also recall that earlier, in the late 1960s, he became the lead player of "The Andy Griffith Show" when it became "Mayberry RFD". I think he played a widower with a little blonde boy. That is a show that I hardly watched in reruns, but I loved "The Andy Griffith Show" once the focal point became bumbling Deputy Barney (and Jim Nabors was a delightful addition to the cast as naive innocent Gomer Pyle, quickly getting his own show).
Edit:
It's interesting that between Carol's variety series and "Mama's Family", Ken Berry played Eunice's brother Phillip (the successful author) in the popular 1982 TV movie "Eunice" that was a mix of comedy and drama, like a stage play that tells a story over a large span of time. I guess Roddy McDowall, who originally played Phillip a couple of times in the 1970s sketches, couldn't do the TV film. Vinton was never in any of the original Family sketches. He was created for the 1983 sitcom "Mama's Family".

So many film, stage and eventually, television pioneers and stars could act, dance and sing. I think it was the only way to get into vaudeville - they had to use multi-talented people to make it profitable. Berry was young for the vaudeville era, but he was definitely talented!
We want to see Carol. do "Gilda" pls, since I heard that is top notch
I hv heard that Rita Hayworth is in it as well. A million thanks!!!!
Huh...
Huh?
