Great film. Sadly, it was a very underappreciated films. Murray was great. He was perfectly cast. It was always his favorite film and for years he was very upset that the studios never pushed it hard enough--that why its didnt do too well.
What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful!
Keep up the good work. Hope You Are Having A Splendid Day!
To anyone that has not seen this movie: You have to see it,, Bill Murray's acting would have made Hanks envious in this movie,,, It is really a brilliant tale,,
@TheAnimationEmpire It is a good movie, and that's exactly why it didn't do well in the box office. People came out of the theaters dissapointed because it wasn't a comedy.
@dotnotdot Hey dotnotdot, have you actually read the book where Larry is described as 'thin', 'pale' with an 'otherwordly' quality. No? That figures. The reason why is you are a fat no lifer who posts up videos of your ugly cat drinking from a plastic cup. Kill yourself and do the world a favour.
@robrose73 he is the one who pushed for the film and got it made .. it was kind of a, you let me do this, and i'll do ghostbusters for you to the studio
In my Historical World Literature, we read a good chunk of the book and watched this version. I have to say the movie is 100 times better than the book because it puts a little juice into a dryly told story.
I wish I could see this movie again. I live in Taiwan, so no opportunity to see it. But what a great movie! The ending, when he's walking up the steps, is the best ending of any movie, ever! A true classic!
It follows the book but focuses more on Larry's search. Somerset Maugham doesn't appear at all. I think this makes the film better. It is definitley worth a watch!
thanks. i just have to find it. hollywood videos and blockbuster doesn't have it. i just watched the black and white version and something wasn't done right. they switched some parts which changed the ending a bit and it wasn't in line of the sucess theme in the ending of the novel.
thanks for posting this trailer! - I would love to see more scenes - this was a wonderful movie - I thought Murray was magnificent - and the music score is very memorable,too
I loved that too, but I still say the tribute to Piedmont (Belushi) was great when he says things like: "...Everything about him was disgusting! You ever watch him eat!?! He wont be missed!..." It was like watching this transformation of a sensitive charcter, becomming inhuman.
For anyone who has never seen this movie, it's a remake of a movie with Tyron Powers. This movie with bill murray is so much better. It made me rethink my life and my own struggle as to why god spared my life one time. This movie is one of the best kept secrets of hollywood. It's a shame it wasn't seen that way by the public.
my fav movie,,, love bill in it!!!!

In that last shot in the clip he reminded me of Massimo Troisi in Il Postino (-another comedian who also played straight roles).

-read the book,yes
-bill murray IS thin and pale and to some possibly'otherwordly' and suits the casting
-didnt come on here FIRST to put down those who think he did a great job and dont find it laughable which issss offensive(you).
-far from fat myself
-likes uploading vids to send to his young neice of the cat which they obviously cant do
-your vile and painfully....painfully miss the entire point of the book..the film..an brain and human compassion
-wanker :)

It is the main theme, composed by Jack Nitzche for the movie soundtrack.Not sure if you can get the track on ITunes but the CD is widely available.

I agree. The Tyrone Power version couldhave done it a bit more rather than simply copying the book verbatim.

Amazon and Ebay are the only places that have it.
(It's even tougher to get in the UK as it only received a brief VHS release in 1985!)
