I was staying in Quebec City for 2 weeks in 1974 and saw this on TV. I had never heard of Steve Martin, and when he hit it big, I kept telling everyone, "That's that great Canadian Comedian I've been telling you about" I've been looking for a copy of this for years. Thanks, No one else I know remembers this.
God, it's great to see that someone as talented and gifted at Steve Martin had to slog through projects like this as he honed his craft... The horrible sound, cheesy costumes, poor pacing... Glad he stayed with it. He just had to find his voice.
there was a video store (now going out of business) that had this full VHS. I copied it. then when i went back to by it, they didnt have it, but they had "Steve Martin Live so I got it.
In the words of Mitch Hedberg, “An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You would never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.”
@PoutinePete I love Canada (your country) and I'm also a huge fan of Steve Martin... I think it's important to know he was cutting his teeth when he made this. He was only 29 at the time.
steve is the greatest ever.im pretty sure he gave buckethead the idea to wear a bucket and play guitar..

if you don't think steve martin is funny you have no comedic taste at all.

Well, this was entertaining I guess, but I think the man got funnier with age, no offense to Steve and his earlier career.

I agree, goofy isn't always funny- i didn't laugh once.

I watched this expecting to get a good laugh. What a waste of time. Being bizarre is just not comedy. I'm sorry.
