A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (1966)
Country: GB
Technical: col 99m
Director: Richard Lester
Cast: Zero Mostel, Phil Silvers, Michael Crawford, Jack Gilford, Michael Hordern, Buster Keaton
Synopsis:
A young Roman attempts to win his sweetheart by collecting a cupful of horse sweat for a love potion.
Review:
Hilarious musical revival of Roman comedy, soon to be one-upped by Frankie Howerd. Lester blends all the comic elements to a quality not often achieved in this kind of thing, and noone quite goes over the top but maintains a Sixties screwball mien.
