The Last Remake of Beau Geste (1977)
I haven't seen it in years.
It's been probably 20 years since I've seen this movie. At this very moment I'm watching Marty Feldman and Gene Wilder in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holme's Smarter Brother" on AMC. The super-funny/talented Madelyn Kahn (sp) is also in the film. Mel Brook's "History of the World: Part One" was on just before this.
Anyway, let's get to the point, shall we. Sorry.
I'd thought of Beau Gest some time ago, but never did any research on it, until tonight. If not for AMC's airing of the two movies I mentioned, I probably wouldn't have thought to search it now.
I don't remember the cross-eyed (cock-eyed?) kid in Beau Gest. Oh, my goodness! LOL! I bet I laughed, and was probably really surprised to see him too, way back then. I really hate that I can't remember more of it. The only scene I keep picturing is the two brothers sitting or lying on the beach, or what seems to be a beach. Not a lot to go on, is it? I guess this means I need to try and rent it or buy it. I know I'll laugh a lot.
Marty Feldman was an absolute trip in "Young Frankenstein". When he told the doctor "Walk this way. No, I said walk *this* way." and Gene mimicked the walk. Funny! I've always thought that Marty was very funny, but had no idea that he was responsible for Beau Geste. What a great piece of information. I'm glad I searched for the movie information.
Once I view the film again (after 20 years), I'll come back with a more decent review.
Thank you for sharing your review. It makes me want to get the movie even more.
The Dogwalker (1999)
It had some pretty good moments.
I thought the movie was pretty good, and that the total mix match of actors and characters worked great.
The two totally different sets of "friends" found that they could actually get along and help each other some way, which was a surprise to me.
The common interest was drugs, but somewhat of a new friendship was made between a couple; although ending in tragedy for some.
I thought Stepfanie Kramer did a wonderful job with her character.
On "Hunter", she's known as The Brass Cupcake, but there was nothing cake-like about her in this role. Nothing but brass.
BTW - The music --- fantastic! I'd love to have a CD of those tracks.
