Toons (Obamacare)/links at Reaganite Republican
*** PING ***
LOL!!!
Yer one MAD short, FRiend! ;-P
You know, that was my first hunch but found it in error in so many places I thought I was wrong, should have looked it up or stuck with my first instinct!
Thanks, changed it on my blog, anyway
I love that damn movie lol
FAVE SCENES:
Sid Ceasar and Edie Adams locked in the hardware store basement...Sid vainly battering down the unyielding metal door is priceless. The laughs never end.
Mickey Rooney flying into a billboard (inside story: they rehearsed it using a paper billboard-—but the actual scene was filmed w/ a linen-based billboard-—which almost killed the stunt pilot b/c linen has a higher density than paper).
Phil Silvers underwater.
It was Buddy Hackett flying the plane.
The best comedy. It was the first movie I remember seeing at the drive-in.
Jonathan Winters character was hardly a flaming liberal. He was a conservative redneck.
It’s a World, World, World, World, Mad
(The Mad Magazine satire of the movie)
Amen~
My attempt at humor here was that Winter’s character was the rube being duped by the fast-talking, over-promising Sid Ceasar character BSing him into his plan- not that he was some sort of lib
As with the Obama electorate and MSM
I know Mad Magazine’s version too- still have the magazine around here somewhere!
Sorry, Phil Silvers.
Mickey and Buddy were both at the controls-—but once they accidentally made contact with ground control (hilarious scene)-—control of the plane was being switched back and forth.
So I always thought Mickey was the one that whizzed the billboard.
BTW-—that was another of my fave scenes-—Paul Ford falling out of the ground control tower.
Yes. That makes sense. :-) also could perhaps see it as conservative (winters) vs RINO (silvers) vs Schumer (caesar)
By the way I always loved that movie. cheers
Another insider story-—the climactic scene when they were scrambling down the fire escape.
Some of it was captured in miniature.
Some of was long shots of an actual bldg.
Some of it was on a studio soundstage.
Yep. I think you are correct.
