Ian Darby BS: western flicks (122* d) RE: BS: western flicks 11 Feb 02


Regarding humour, "Blazing Saddles" was excellent, but the funniest western (for me) was "Evil Roy Slade"

I saw this around 30 years ago on telly in the U.K. and have been trying to find it ever since.

I couldn't get it in England and finally managed to order it from the 'States'. (The postage cost more than the video.) I then had to pay to convert it to U.K. VHS format and it was worth every penny.

The film started out as a 'pilot' and never got any further.

It stars John Astin, (Addams Family) as a phsychotic bank robber and also features Mickey Rooney, Henry Gibson, Edie Adams, Dick Shawn, Dom DeLuise, Pamela Austin, and Milton Berle.

There's a whole catchphrase cult in the U.K based on some of the scenes in this film.

I was really pleased that, having finally got my hands on a copy, it was as funny as I remembered it.

Americans. You should be proud.

"Enough Warmth"

P.S. After spending years tracking down the damn thing and getting copies done for all my mates channel 4 showed it the week after.

P.P.S. So it goes.....

P.P.S. Please try and see it.
