Mick Garris on “The Comic”
Jul 28, 2010
Trailer 461 of 695
Comedy buffs Carl Reiner and Dick Van Dyke reteamed for this tribute to silent comedy centering on an egotistical star named Billy Bright. The plot juggles episodes culled from the careers of Langdon, Chaplin and Van Dyke's friend Stan Laurel, but it actually hews closer to the life of Keaton than The Buster Keaton Story did! Some last-minute studio cutting didn't help, and it failed at the boxoffice. Mickey Rooney shines as a Ben Turpin-like sidekick with non-PC eyeball issues.

"If you like telepathic Pterodactyls this one's for you!" How can one resist a commentary like that? LOL.

Can't say I actually "like" this movie but I can tolerate it. It makes as much sense as many non-drug-related films that go a bit off the rails for purely "artistic" reasons, so simply pegging it as a "drug movie" only of interest in its time is inaccurate...

The one original touch: a caveman monster with veins that go ACROSS his nostrils (look fast and you can see him in the trailer). Umm, other than that...

I have a great fondness for this daft film. I remember running around my grandad's garden with a hankerchief I found tied around my hand because I saw Doug McClure do it in either this or another Conner film promting my grandad to ask of I'd hurt myself...

"Phoned it in so intensely, you can almost hear the dial tones" That line is better than anything in this film..
