In Reply to: Easily the most underrated American comedy (that's funny)? posted by tinear on May 27, 2010 at 07:36:19:
I know that the Pollack film is really a crime caper movie, but it had a lot of humor: Ron Leibman (sp?) and Zero Mostel are great. The Reiner film is one of those counter culture 70's pix with really dark, subversive humor. George Segal at the top of his substantial game, Liebman also appears in this movie as Segal's crazy brother. The Chayefsky "Hospital" was another good one, but I suppose it wasn't really underrated.
