In Reply to: RE: "Hospital" is the darkest American comedy I've seen. It is totally forgotten so, yeah, I think it posted by tinear on May 29, 2010 at 10:19:40

The Hospital is absolutely number ONE on my list too if a comedy - Ok, I laugh, but for all the wrong reasons.

(I just find it "funny" in the way a speech in "The Spy Who Came in From the Cold" comes across, where Richard Burton's Alec Leamas vents in the car to Claire Bloom's Nan Perry about the futility of spy vs spy and the quiet desperation that men gleefully ignore, just prior to their own tragic end. Even then that becomes more hilarious the older I get - weird.)

The Hospital is by far my favorite George C. Scott film.

Diana Rigg is HOT HOT HOT.
