a rarefied taste; his comedies don't go down easily with most modern viewers. Aside from this he was a cheesy contortionist at best. Donut holes to the moon, indeed!

My local library only has The Night they raided Minsky's. Is that one worth catching?

I wonder . . .

I didn't even remember he was in it, but the Minsky's movie itself is entertaining. Enjoy.

Thanks for the headsup about Norman Wisdom still being among us if only for a short time. No one's career in entertainment is completely without merit. He was someone like Pinky Lee was here in the USA. A burlesque comedian with lots of slap and mucho schtick.

"The Bulldog Breed" is a comedy classic. Shove that up your nostrils!
