"Where's Poppa". 1970 black comedy that could literally have you rolling in the floor. Viscerally funny companion to "Harold and Maude".

Carl Reiner, George Segal, Ruth Gordan, Ron Liebman, Trish Van Devere.

Probably could not be made in today's PC atmosphere. A grown-up film about race, scatology, attempted murder, rape, dementia, etc. An absolutely tasty film displaying elevated degrees of tastelessness.

Brilliant, fearless performances by Segal and Gordon.
