  • A funny thing happened on the way to Ebay.

    I have been a fan of this film since 1980's when we first rented it back then. My sister and I would watch it; maybe our favorite part was Zero Mostel doing the singing yodeling Kantor bits when Buster Keaton was looking for a soothsayer maybe that one and the Senex and Domina the word play between them and the silly stuff that he was able to convey in his brilliant acting. The script was perfect the only problem I found was in the last viewing I noticed again and again it seemed as if more than one director was putting together this film. Like the part where Pseudolus is running around up on a walkway and his silent courtesan begins motioning to him some kind of pantomime but by the way it is shot you see only a portion of a shot crammed with another one. The other part that seemed to not fit was the part where Hero was going to throw himself to the lions and the fellow being taught how to Gladiate missed the throw to kill the "hero" of the story. I get it maybe production delays didn't allow for reshoots. Anyhow all things being equal it still outshines anything that Hollywood could attempt to put out. Please Hollywood don't try to remake this movie. It cannot be even close to say even a third grade elementary attempt to equal it's grandeur.
