Your Reviews

This, in my humble opinion, is a movie worthy of the classification \"Cult Classic\". Anthony Sher, Robert Lindsay and Diana Rigg deliver superb and convincing performances as the ghost ... of Genghis Cohn, Polizei Kommissar Otto Schatz and the Baroness \"Von Shtup\". Because of the subject matter, i.e., making reference and based on one of the many tragic stories of the Holocaust, it is tough to make this kind of a comment. The only place where the movie lacks technical \"realism\" is the part when the two Nazis later haunted by Cohn are shooting at the prisoners. That is only a few seconds of a truly memorable film. I knew I was going to be in for a treat when the movie opens with stand-up Comedian Genghis Cohn, the first \"Jerry Seinfeld\", with a ventriloquist\'s dummy made to look like and uniformed like Adolf Hitler. I won\'t give any more away because I don\'t want to ruin it for anyone. It will take you from laughter to tears. I\'ve been trying to wait patiently for over 15 years now for SOMEONE to make this movie into a DVD. With so much SCHEISSER that gets made into DVD these days, I really cannot understand why this memorable \"cult classic \'dramedy\' \" can\'t be made into one. Is anyone listening??? It ranks for me right up there with the entire classic movie repertoire. \"Must See Movie\" for every household across the world. Sign me Inuqienankh. Full Review
