...arithmetic before qualifying for a state-approved diploma. Then Senator Francis X. Herbert, who doubles as a high school English teacher, discovered that the senators could also use some drill in the fundamentals. The bill misspelled explicit as explict, minimum as minmum and remediation as remediaton. Conceded Sponsor Matthew Feldman: "Sure, it's embarrassing. I never read the bill for spelling." Said Herbert: "I give the senate a B-minus...
David Margolin as the notary and Beline's lover is wonderful. He uses his uncanny resemblance to Marty Feldman to make big money with the audience as he and Beline paw each other under Argan's nose. Stacia Zabusky's Beline is sleazy to the point of being reptilian and is very effective...

A collector of 19th century furniture and art, Feldman figured that nothing would be more Victorian than the royal underpants, so when he spotted them at a London auction he laid out a bloomin' $320 for the bloomers.

Wilder plays Rudy Valentine, a shnook from Milwaukee who goes West when a film company announces a search for a new star to compete with Valentino. Once the hero hits Hollywood, predictable gags ensue at an alarming rate. There are the usual send-ups of silent movies and film-company yes men, not to mention the now obligatory asides about Valentino's ambiguous sexuality. Rather than recapture the high spirits of Brooks' Silent Movie, this movie more often looks like an overbudgeted tribute...
