@@alextepe4309 It somewhat diminishes Mr. Reeve and his achievements to refer to him as Superman. Yes, he was wonderful in the role but there was so much more to him as an actor.
I don't understand why this was so savaged. I was in high school when I saw it. Taped it off cable, and we watched it in my drama class. The drama coach loved it, we loved it, and we ended up doing it as my last show as a senior. I played Lloyd and had the absolute time of my life. He's exactly the same in the play as Caine plays him here, and being a snarky arsehole was LOADs of fun.
"Lloyd, I know it's rather late in the day to go into all this, but..." "No, Freddy, we've got several more minutes left before we open." Lloyd is the long-suffering character with whom viewers can immediately relate.
My high school is doing this show for our fall play, and I’m playing Dotty. I only JUST NOW learned that Carol Burnett played her in the movie😅 no pressure😅😅😅
Peter Bogdanovich did a very good adaptation of a farce that seems challenging to do on the screen. It’s too bad it didn’t get a lot of box office. The direction and the casting are great, and there’s never been a funnier play.
A lot of actors & actresses are "good looking" by conventional media standards ..but Reeves, in looks & bearing, seems like some kind of natural nobility/royalty ..Hard to say why exactly. JulieAndrews has it also.
1:53 "Because it's just slightly after midnight, & we're not going to be finished before we open tomorrow night. Correction: BEFORE WE OPEN *TONIGHT* !!
This was not the best line when Michael Caine said that to Christopher Reeve. Lloyd could've said, "tonight" normally instead with his anger which caused Freddie to leave the scene as his wife (played by Marilu Henner) gets upset about it as she orders him to apologize.
Does anybody else get a "DeathTrap" feel to this... Maybe it's because this and "DeathTrap" have both Christopher Reeve and Michael Caine... Just me? This looks awesome. Rest in Peace Chris!
how can one not get a "Death Trap" feel from this ??? a ferocious Caine, a passive-aggressive Reeve...a play. a playwright.. the lovely woodwork of the SET for gawdsakes.. it SCREAMS "DeathTrap" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...and to think Michael Tylo played the role of Selsdon Mowbrey in the Nevada Conservatory Theatre's version of "Noises Off" and pulled it off so perfectly. Got to love him.
Directors (Michael Caine's character Lloyd) can get very frustrated when there's just hours to go before the 1st show and there are constant interruptions from the actors. That's why Caine's character is angry. He's meant to be. I've been there as a former actor and as a director.
When i saw "Birdman or (The unexpected virtue of ignorance)" i could not help thinking in this movie! ... both of them a hilarious movies. (sorry for my english)

I can agree. It's a combination of his face symmetry and their alignment. Notice his "noble" chin, his endless jawline, and how his eyes and eyebrows form the perfect "T" with his nose. He has the classic look of nobility. :-)
Chris Reeve and John Ritter?!?!?! Holy COW!!! My favorite actor, Chris Reeve, is in movie I never even HEARRRRRRD of with another favorite, John (Jack Tripper) RITTER?!?! This movie obviously came out during my lifetime, but i NEVER heard of it!!! How the fudge did it manage to slip by ME?!?! Oh I gotta find this now!
Leigh Silver thanks. Yeah, I ordered it on dvd, but much like the madea movies that are plays, I'd much rather see it in person. I've never been to a Broadway show, but I'm sure it's not cheap.
Hey sylvani1, at least on amazon.de you get "Noises off!" the movie as DVD in two different inlets (covers). I love the movie too, and saw it in Hamburg, Germany at the Thalia Theater many times, I laughed my head off, hilarious.
Lloyd could've said, "tonight" normally instead with his anger which caused Freddie to leave the scene as his wife (played by Marilu Henner) gets upset about it as she orders him to apologize.
@@nick37104 That is the one where Lloyd got really angry about. So we see Brooke ran out and was crying. But can you please not say the whole line? It was not funny when you posted this comment.
of course, there is. Reeve's character is a bit of a bumbling idiot. mind is unable to focus. sometimes you have to scream to wake them up. Also, if you've ever been in a play, the director screams @ everyone at some point in the rehearsals. Caine plays the near-the-breaking-point director quite well.
I do not like the way when Michael Caine screamed at Christopher Reeve, you guys. Look at his angry face at the 2:01 minute mark. You can tell that he is really angry. What was he talking about when he was talking to Freddie? In the next scene from the movie, He yelled at Brooke (who is played by Nicollette Sheridan) is when she did not say her line at the end of the play.
@@russellthompson9271 I have to disagree. He was pissed and angry because Freddie (Christopher Reeve) made him mad. He did it at Nicollette Sheridan. If that's not enough, He was slapped in the face twice by her and Poppy which Julie Hagerty plays
@@cattathat I'm making my point about this. He shouted "tonight" at Christopher Reeve. Then actress Julie Hagerty slaps him in the face and called him a "pig".

"I thought I heard my voice" continues to be one of my favorite lines of all time.
Omgg me tooooooooo!! Hahaha 😂
Same here.
Christopher Reeve was such an underrated comedic actor
He was. And it is rather odd to see Superman being bullied by Jack Tripper on this movie.

This movie is the quintessential for anyone interested in acting or in theater. What a cast! What a script! And it's so funny while being so real
I feel like seeing the play might be a little more quintessential
You’re absolutely right.
I'm always shocked that this movie isn't more popular.
I don't understand why this was so savaged. I was in high school when I saw it. Taped it off cable, and we watched it in my drama class.

He's exactly the same in the play as Caine plays him here, and being a snarky arsehole was LOADs of fun.
I think some people just want to see it in person because it is a play.
I just love Lloyd's motivation for Freddie and the box towards the end. Freddie's expression was priceless!
"Lloyd, I know it's rather late in the day to go into all this, but..."
"No, Freddy, we've got several more minutes left before we open."
Lloyd is the long-suffering character with whom viewers can immediately relate.
Well thank you Lloyd, as long as we’re not too rushed😂
Christopher Reeve was a great actor. 🌹
The sheer level of talent on screen (and the stage) here...
My high school is doing this show for our fall play, and I’m playing Dotty. I only JUST NOW learned that Carol Burnett played her in the movie😅 no pressure😅😅😅
More pressure originally they wanted Audrey Hepburn.
@@Mxyzptlksac everything ended up going fine in the end for us... performances were back in December and they went great!

loved this film, the casting was a dream team.
RIP Christhoper Reeve, Delhom Elliott and John Ritter :(

ProNorden Agrarian-Nationalism Don’t you find Denholm Elliott seems too ?
@@abigailkrauss437 it was a mistake
Alfred and Superman! Nice. This the best comedy when your sick at home or just want to laugh
They also were together in Deathtrap in 1982.
RIP Chris Reeves and John Ritter. Who knew Superman had a sense of humor playing a straight man? Such a great movie and play too.
Such fantastic moviemaking. Great casting and Nicolette Sheridan oo la la
seriously one of the funniest movies i have ever seen. i love carol too
The way Freddie says "Thank You" reminds me of Sheldon Cooper.
Michael Caine is so funny when he's mad
I love the sort of mother hen role that Belinda plays for the group. Which makes her rivalry with Dotty later on even more hilarious.

Haha, yeah totally.
Two of the same actors and both doing a play essentially.
Roman Fox I wonder how the movie in general is.
***** well, I'm going to check it out.
I love My Ko Kane and Christopher Reeves.
Roman Fox I hope to find it myself. Enjoy!!

John Ritter's character was hilarious, I don't think he ever finished a full sentence in the movie properly.
I'm playing that character onstage this fall!
I freakin' u know..loved it!
@@jackmoody5174 How'd it go?
Gary’s my personal favorite character
If I ever come across a production, I’ll auction for him

Oh my God this is genius
Saw this on HBO a Very Long time ago. It was hilarious.

Yes, but do you see the encouragement he gives to Freddie @ the end. A little screaming, a little coddling.....that's how it goes.

+Dee Ray Did you find it? One of the best comedies ever.
huverdoose yep. I own it now with several of his other hard to find films.
+Dee Ray 1992 is when it came out the broadway show which it is based on is on Bway now. Noises off.
Leigh Silver thanks. Yeah, I ordered it on dvd, but much like the madea movies that are plays, I'd much rather see it in person. I've never been to a Broadway show, but I'm sure it's not cheap.
It has a short run so you better get there quick.
Absolutely brilliant 😁
Who would have ever thought that Michael Caine and Carole Burnett would both outlive Christopher Reeve and John Ritter?
Superman getting lessons from Alfred from Batman.
😂
Christopher Reeve was a great actor.
I wish I didn't love this theater shit so much.😢
Superman and Alfred
RIP to Denholm Elliott as well. This was his last film.
thanks for posting, great excerpt from the film!
Reeve, Ritter and Caine in one movie? Amazing!
One of the funniest films i've ever seen
Michael Caine's presence actually
made this bit so engrossing for this viewer,
that i am sad that it all ended so abruptly....🤷
now i can watch michael caine and christopher reeve in a movie togther
There's also the movie Deathtrap. Highly recommend.
Hey sylvani1, at least on amazon.de you get "Noises off!" the movie as DVD in two different inlets (covers).

This is not the first film Christopher Reeve and Michael Caine did. They also did Deathtrap, which was also adapted from a Broadway play.
Absolutely priceless
Haha I love Dotty's actor
Correction..before we open TONIGHT!! 😡
Lloyd could've said, "tonight" normally instead with his anger which caused Freddie to leave the scene as his wife (played by Marilu Henner) gets upset about it as she orders him to apologize.
I am looking for this movie for quite a while now.and I can not find anywhere. can anyone help me with this?
@TheChrisminator19 he's such a good actor.
Superman and alfred concidence!
Post the hole movie
The Brits really hate Method Acting. :D
I was disappointed in the film compared to B'way, but the more I see it, the better I like it.
He even screamed at Nicolette for not saying her line.
"...We merely want to hear the line, 'WHAT'S THAT DAD?' That's all. NOTHING else! I'm not being unreasonable, am i?"
