Dom DeLuise was great in this.


With a cast that hailed Mel Brooks and Marty Feldman as its leads, the real standout was Deluise. Everything from his facial expressions to his walk was absolutely hilarious.

Compared to the frantic but unfunny Mel Brooks in this film, Dom was Fatty Arbuckle and Oliver Hardy rolled into one. During his career,Dom was better as a supporting comic relief for a Dean Martin or a Burt Reynolds.

"a" Dean Martin and "a" Burt Reynolds? There's only one of each.

Come on Steely, you have to bring more to the table than that!

I loved Dom DeLuise's role in Robin Hood: Men in Tights http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107977 , where he portrayed a Godfather-type character. Just hilarious.
