Ernie Kovacs and Edie Adams spoof Richard Wagner's "Tannhauser"

[TimelordR]

Is this the reason why The Legend Of Valkyrie was never made available for U.S. game consoles?

@TimelordR - If you are referring to the gunplay, this is a spit in the ocean compared to other PC games!

much fun and enjoyment thank you just you tubed Alec Guinness on Ernie  when they worked together on the film. "Our Man in Havana"

I was stunned to know that these two greats had worked together. How grand.

What a surprise. Wonderful!

Want to view more!

Kovacs was pure genius & Eddie Adams was sensational.

Feel sad as this was before my time and that we will not ever see such in our present day.

Have to get the DVD of Jeff Goldblum as EK.

Not Strauss or Fledermaus. It's Wagner and the tune is from Tannhauser. Hence, the Valkyrie costume (from Wagner's Ring cycle). PLEASE give us more Ernie...a true comic genius! :)

My weakness surrounding opera is apparent. I will correct the heading.
