We're back to the same old conundrum here... I'm trying to broaden my horizons, I decide to check out another beloved klassik komedy, and although I recognize the humor and craft of the film, it just doesn't make me laugh. I know it's not an absolute with old films... the Marx Brothers make me laugh, Buster Keaton makes me laugh... hell, some of Alfred Hitchcock movies are hilarious, even though they aren't primarily comedies. For the most part, though, I just don't share the sense of humor film goers had back in the day.
The one great thing about this movie is Alec Guinness, who plays something like 8 different characters in the movie. It's like he beat Eddie Murphy to his shtick by like 50 years.
