Movie Reviews of The Last Remake of Beau Geste (Amazon.com Exclusive)
Movie Review: Brilliant Comedy by Underappreciated Genius
Summary: 5 Stars
I hadn't seen this since it was released in the theaters in 1977 and not only does it hold up, it's funnier than I remembered it being. The story of twin brothers - Marty Feldman and Michael York - who end up in the French Foreign Legion, it's hysterical. Feldman is incredible with his comedic delivery, physical comedy, and directing. "The Escape" scene is five minutes long and funnier than most entire movies. Immediately after watching this I looked up some of Feldman's British shows and they're just as funny. This movie has it all - brilliant wordplay, intelligent parody, and some outstanding slapstick. If you're a fan of Monty Python or Mel Brooks you will love this movie. It's easy to see where the Pythons got their training after watching Feldman at work. Most people know Marty Feldman from his work in Mel Brooks' movies but I'm hoping that this movie will be successful on Amazon and encourage the release of his British shows as well.
