Note,
Any video content has been spliced and edited. I have provided the footage to accompany commentary to demonstrate visual themes being reviewed and critiqued and none of the original audio is included. I believe I have transformed the original content so that it falls within fair use for the purpose of reviews, critiques and commentary.
A VERY underrated, almost unknown, comedy that was so beautifully pulled off!
Thanks for watching & Thanks for your comment :)
underrated is right !
Don't forget the other hallmark, an average person gets drawn into a large conspiracy between hidden factions in a morally shifting landscape where good and bad is based off the main characters current veiw which shifts dramatically with each new discovery.
It normally starts with a job offer or random encounter at a low point in life.
Omg so true ! - Thanks for watching :)
I've always loved this movie from the first time I saw this in the theaters. I still have a VHS copy of this movie. The blending of the classic noir films with Steve Martin comedy is pure genius.
VHS, YES!! - Thanks for watching :)
Without doubt my favourite Steve Martin film. Like Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein and the Zucker Brothers' Airplane, it proves that the best parodies are always the most affectionate.
Lovely Comment!
Your commentary is fantastic, and your understanding of the continuity of the genre of film and generations of pop culture are amazing. Keep it up, I love what you’re doing.
I saw both of your comments today and they really made me smile. Thank you so much. I'm glad you're enjoying the channel. xx
Great video! "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" has always been one of my favorites - I come back to it every few years. I like your analysis and the inclusion of films like "Forrest Gump" and "Kung Pao: Into The Fist" as other examples of the art of film integration. "The Three Amigos" is also a film I come back to quite often..."would you say I have a plethora of piñatas?" 🙂
Thank you ! & yes the integration techniques are always fascinating !
I watched this movie as a kid and loved it. Now I gotta watch it again, it's been too long.
Yes please do - Thanks for the sub and for your comment
I think "Spellbinder" would be an interesting example of a movie for that period as it uses a white knight instead of a detective type for the primary and uses a different style of baddies while still requiring the exact same inner journey to determine the primaries fate.
Cultists, damsels, work friends, and contacts all play the same parts in the story you would see done by more traditional characters.
Just looked up spellbinder - you're totally right !
WAY underrated movie! I saw it in the theater when I was a kid. I didn't understand it at the time because I wasn't familiar with film noir. Seeing it later in life I think it's a scream! I like to watch it in my payamas! Freshly laundered, of course!
For sure, it such a trip re-watching films as an adult - Thanks for your comment !
It’s far too intelligent for many modern viewers, it definitely takes some patience and realization of the satire and entendre of genre specific films that contributed to its creation.
And I will be the tall-ish, narrow-waisted-wide-shouilder-ish stranger sauntering up to the bar. Is that a smirk on my face, or are my lips just naturally cruel looking? You are intrigued when you overhear me order a cinnamon vodka ice cream float (it WAS a really hot day). You feel a 'stirring' in several organs the like you have never had...what can you do to prevent the embarrassment of instinct?..... Love your commentary.
Thank you !
The noir esthetic found its way into new wave science fiction and things like cyberpunk which helped influence filmmakers who then made films like Bladerunner.
Though it was the style in storytelling that truly had the greatest influence which stretched well into the 90's rather than visual aesthetic in my opinion.
absolutely - I really enjoy film noir !
I love this movie ❤😂 I still use lines from it ("cleaning woman!!!!!) It's a must-see if you are a fan of film noir OR a Steve Martin fan!!
I agree - thanks so much for watchin!
Actually Steve Martin was a writer of The Smothers Brothers in the 60s.
oh no way, pretty cool - Thanks for watching nellgwenn !
How do you determine when to pronounce an "R" and when to not??
You say Steve Mah-tin, then seconds later say "idear", actually adding an "R" where there shouldn't be one.
I will never understand the English speaking English.
CLEANING WOMAN!
lol, thanks for watching !
