Okay, there's this great movie nobody's every heard of that's based on Mel Brooks' early career as a peon in live television (Sid Caeser's My Show of Shows) called MY FAVORITE YEAR. This kid named Benji is assigned the job of chaperone for their famous guest star, a swashbuckling big-time movie star (and major drunk), played by Peter O'Toole. Benji and the movie star get to be tight and go for dinner at Benji's mother's apartment in Brooklyn. Benji's from a big Jewish family with all manner of embarrassing relatives (Mom's a big woman, played by Lanie Kazan, married to a tiny Filipino man...). All kinds of humiliating and embarrassing things happen at this dinner but one of my favorites is when Benji's aunt and uncle show up and the aunt is wearing her wedding dress and veil (because, of course, it's her nicest dress). Benji's mom, Belle, answers the door:
Belle: "Sadie, you look... beautiful."
Sadie: "You like it? I only wore it once."
I've loaned this movie to EVERYONE, including lots of people who didn't think it would be any good. Without exception, everyone thought it was hysterical and they all wondered why they'd never heard of it. Yea, you REALLY ought to check it out if you love comedy. My friends still quote lines from it.
