Great movie. underrated.

[sportigal22]

Agreed! This is a totally underrated and wonderful film - start to finish. This scene - done by Vernal Bagneris is incredible on so many levels - pure joy to watch.

@skyangel1965 I think you had it in three words - "this dark film." You're right that American audiences were not prepared - but it's the whole thing: Dennis potter's brilliant and brutal vision. The casting, the timing of the release, or any other factors, were mere details. I think Steve Martin does make the part work; the casting is excellent across the board, it's a great film. The audience just wasn't ready for it.

This one of the howlin' worst examples of box office miscasting. No one was prepared to see Steve Martin be a meanie. That, and the fact this dark film was released just before Christmas - Christmas, if you can believe it - and it's no wonder it bombed. Now imagine the original - Bob Hoskins - in the part. Hoskins is an actor no one likes at first , but who grows on you. He would have made the part work.

Great scene, beautifully done. Much better than in the original TV series.

I'll check on that and get back to you. there are so many versions. Bing Crosby's wasn't too shabby either.

Bueno amigo. Gracias/ This movie was a delicious cocktail which appealed to only those with excquisite tastes. This dance scene, and that of Walkens were classic.
