“They donu0026#39;t make movies this funny any more….now a guy getting it on with a pie is considered high comedy, but THIS is what truly funny is all about, then again, with so few of the actors in this being alive still, maybe itu0026#39;s not too surprising that current films mostly suck. Who else can be as funny as Peter Sellers? (certainly Steve Martin wonu0026#39;t be) Who else can deliver a line as smoothly as David Niven? (u0026quot;Saved only by the fact that I am INCREDIBLY well bredu0026quot;) Who could be as twisted as Capote? (THE COW, THE COW! Use your god damn personal pronouns and prepositions!) And of course, Alec Guiness being gone makes such a role unplayable by anyone acting these days!!! Great actors, at the height of their skills, a great script, great direction, and Maggie Smith at her hottest (u0026quot;I want my Dickie! My husband.u0026quot;) Too bad they canu0026#39;t make movies this good anymore….”
