This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Some things I liked some I did not.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Dreadfully Boring

Creative satire comedy from the fabulous Marty Feldman,with a stellar casting this movie is quite dated,but unprovided of interest,the googly eyes has many funny moments dignified and paved your career,Ann Margret was voluptuous than never adorn the picture,Peter Ustinov play a remarkable character undoubtedly funny with a lot of gags....this piece of art deserves a second chance on DVD release!!Resume: First watch: 1990 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD-R / Rating: 7

I saw this when it first came out many years ago. What I can remember about it are two things:1/ I was NOT amused,2/ it remains to this day (in my 50 years) the ONLY film in which I thought it was so AWFUL I walked out (after just 30 minutes or so) and angry that I wasted good money on it.I enjoyed films like Young Frankenstein and similar genre comedy like Blazing Saddles. But this film was just stupid and not funny like the above two in any way whatsoever. Sorry, but "STUPID comedy" just doesn't tickle my funny bone. It may however appeal to those who find "Terrence & Phillip" to be funny.

It's been probably 20 years since I've seen this movie. At this very moment I'm watching Marty Feldman and Gene Wilder in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holme's Smarter Brother" on AMC. The super-funny/talented Madelyn Kahn (sp) is also in the film. Mel Brook's "History of the World: Part One" was on just before this.Anyway, let's get to the point, shall we. Sorry.I'd thought of Beau Gest some time ago, but never did any research on it, until tonight. If not for AMC's airing of the two movies I mentioned, I probably wouldn't have thought to search it now.I don't remember the cross-eyed (cock-eyed?) kid in Beau Gest. Oh, my goodness! LOL! I bet I laughed, and was probably really surprised to see him too, way back then. I really hate that I can't remember more of it. The only scene I keep picturing is the two brothers sitting or lying on the beach, or what seems to be a beach. Not a lot to go on, is it? I guess this means I need to try and rent it or buy it. I know I'll laugh a lot.Marty Feldman was an absolute trip in "Young Frankenstein". When he told the doctor "Walk this way. No, I said walk *this* way." and Gene mimicked the walk. Funny! I've always thought that Marty was very funny, but had no idea that he was responsible for Beau Geste. What a great piece of information. I'm glad I searched for the movie information.Once I view the film again (after 20 years), I'll come back with a more decent review.Thank you for sharing your review. It makes me want to get the movie even more.

I had not seen the original Beau Geste, with Gary Cooper in the title role, when I saw this movie. After seeing this movie, including a *hilarious* 'cameo' of Gary Cooper, I watched the original. It only made me appreciate the humor in the Last Remake even more. The Last Remake (were there ever previous remakes?) parodies the story completely, but every other scene makes you laugh. The scene with Gary Cooper would almost certainly not be allowed on TV today due to censorship so you'll have to buy this movie on, ick, VHS to see it. But at a time when new releases are $10+ to see not including popcorn, paying about $20 for a VHS of this movie, and being able to show it to friends and watch it over and over, is worth it. Trust me on this :)."So that's why you talk so slow Big G."
