Terrible, terrible movie. The opening montage is fast-paced and funnier than anything that follows -- they should have released that as a short subject and scrapped the rest of the movie.
Not only is Jerry the greatest comic actor of all time (with the possible exception of Charlie Chaplin), he is one of the greatest dramatic actors as well.
@MrHooLee He demonstrated outstanding dramatic skill in 'The King of Comedy', which, in my most humble opinion, had a skilled, and I do mean skilled, trifecta of craftspeople, Robert DeNiro, Jerry Lewis, and Martin Scorcese.
My response to the scene at 5:55 when the Circus owner tells his people that the Bank is shutting them down:
A Communist friend of mine (since High School) said that we as a people should take every Banker and Loan Officer in the USA and publicly execute them as "enemies and parasites of mankind"
It seems excessive to me but he does have a point.....Bankers are rather an Evil subclass of people that prey on the weaknesses of their fellow humans.
Love the fonts used for the opening credits. I keep waiting for Penny Marshall to voice over: "Laverne and Shirley is taped before a live studio audience."
Jerry you should be MY uncle

But I could be wrong.
