Worth it for the Farwell, My Lovely skit
vonnoosh27 October 2022
Personally, I don't remember anything about this episode except for one skit and it is a classic IF you are a fan of the movie i mentioned which I am. Farewell My Lovely was a 1975 movie starring Robert Mitchum, Charlotte Rampling, John Ireland, Anthony Zerbie, Harry Dean Stanton, Joe Spinell and a very young Sylvester Stallone. It was a film adaptation of the Raymond Chandler book with the same title and anyone who read Philip Marlowe novels knows the strange metaphors and similes the main character uses. The movie went crazy with them (even Naked Gun recreated part of a scene from this movie) and the skit made the most of the way the narration was used and the type of dialogue heard n that film. They went so far as to copy some camera angles and feature it in black and white like a 40s film noir.

Anyway, that skit stuck with me. Aside from the large glasses Mitchum wears and his saying he is looking forward to the after party, i dont remember anything else. Hence my not rating it.
