The New York Improv: A Documentary

Jerry Seinfeld and Carol Leifer ask Bob Hope "a question from the audience," Larry David with hair, a headshot montage set to the Johnny Quest theme and lots of other neat goodies in this obscure documentary. I can't tell if it is three separate things pasted together, a doc, a newscast, and a home made chunk or what. Some footage is obviously from 1976-77, other parts are from 1983. I dunno.

The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson with guest George Carlin (1972)

William Castle's Zotz! (1962)

I'm always a big fan of old movies that ditch the big star in exchange for a plethora of recognizable character actors and William Castle's Zotz! is a prime example. With the two leads played by Tom Poston and Jim Backus, the picture becomes somewhat irresistable. A post like this also makes it irresistable not to link back to a slight magazine article I wrote about the picture last year.
