Superb classic comedy--laugh-out-loud funny
16 December 2002
I can only echo the comments that have preceded mine. Darnell and Douglas are both hilarious and touching--their performances should not only have been nominated for Oscars but should have won them. Perhaps the funniest thing I have ever seen in a movie: watch for the scene where Porter takes Lora Mae to her door after their date. Be sure not to miss the sticker on the window! Sheer genius! Not far behind in cleverness is the bit with Porter's cigarette lighter in the car. One of the joys of the movie is the sly dialogue that is often in the background; viz., Lora Mae's "grammar lesson" at Rita's party. And to think the movie doesn't have one car chase, any nudity, no violence, no profanity....
