Description: Yes, the we'll-be-right-back talkshow giant had his low moments, one of them being in this Steven Paul 1982 adapation of Kurt Vonnegut's "Slapstick of Another Kind." It is unique in its awfulness. Clips like these can be found on the Media Funhouse blog, located at: mediafunhouse.blogspot.com Here's some text about the movie from the former Funhouse blog, written by yrs truly: Writer-director-producer Steven Paul made in Slapstick a film that attempts to visualize some of Vonnegut's craziest, cartoon-like images, and fails in a really amazing manner. In the process, a really dazzling cast of comic actors do their damndest, but only provoke groans and open-mouthed wonder. Jerry Lewis and Madeline Kahn play a couple who give birth to mutant giant twins (also Jerry and Madeline) who become a joint mastermind when they put their heads together (literally). Marty Feldman does a Peter Lorre impression as their guardian, Merv Griffin and Virginia Graham are on hand, Pat Morita plays a miniaturized Chinese head of state, Jim Backus is the president, and yes, that's the voice of Orson Welles as the alien leader. It's one rough ride, even at a mere 85 minutes, but it truly does have to go down as one of the worst pics ever made. |
