- The original and best version. Two hilarious scenes with every actor on the top of his/her game, especially Eddie Albert.
Director: Elaine May
Writers: Bruce Jay Friedman (story), Neil Simon (screenplay)
Stars: Charles Grodin, Cybill Shepherd, Jeannie Berlin - Krátké a kreslené filmy
This is a masterpiece of a movie. The humor is second to none. The performances by Grodin and Albert are incredible. If you like this one check out Little Murders (1971) Made For Each Other (1971) Play It Again Sam (1972) Last Of The Red Hot Lovers (1972) and Sleeper (1972). The Jewish black comedies of the early seventies were perfect.
What a brilliant scene. Charles Grodin at his finest. He served in the army and fought every minute of every day for three years, but unfortunately not overseas due to a minor back injury. Hilarious!!!
"There's no deceit in the cauliflower"
Classic Len.
Eddie Albert - perfection.
I agree what a great actor. Completely wasted his talents on Green Acres.
Charles Grodin, R.I.P... this was his greatest acting...
The play between Eddie Albert and Charles Grodin is a clinic in understatement.
Eddie Albert during WW2, was awarded the Bronze Star with Combat "V" for his actions during the invasion of Tarawa in November 1943, when, as the pilot of a Coast Guard landing craft, he rescued 47 Marines who were stranded offshore (and supervised the rescue of 30 others), while under heavy enemy machine-gun fire.
Eddie Albert was the real deal
Cybill Shepard was a knock out! Good movie!
Rest In Peace, Charles Grodin. 😪
The cauliflower bit is the most famous line, but at 2:49 when Lenny gets caught stealing from the newspaper and then immediately tries to brush it off has always seemed equally funny to me.
RIP Charles Grodin. My favorite scene from a movie that meant a lot to me.
"I've never heard such a crock of horse shit in all my life" Classic Eddie Albert...
The way they all jump at the father clearing his throat lol. Great movie.
I enjoyed the remake of this movie, with Ben Stiller... cause they didn't try to remake the original, as seen in this clip.... which was as good as it gets. Eddie Albert was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, but it was a tough year to be nominated, going up against 3 from The Godfather and Joel Grey, who won in Cabaret.... Jeannie Berlin (the daughter of Elaine May), was also nominated, but lost. Audra Lindley was also masterful.
Thanks fakerating! In my recent post I wondered why Eddie Albert didn't get the award, now I see it went to Joel Grey. Thanks bro.
Eddie Albert and Charles Grodin together? Talk about magic. This is another classic comedy that shames a lot of the Hollywood comedies today that mostly rely on giant names, crappy acting and stupid vulgar humor to get by. Humor that is character driven, intelligent, genuinely witty but still can be absurdly funny and wicked are almost scarce completely now imo.
Superb. One of the greatest movies ever made.
The King of Comedy and The Heartbreak Kid are the only 2 comedies I've ever seen that feel darker and more disturbing than a great deal of horror films but in a very unique and subtle way.
"you could wear 2 wool sweaters and a racoon coat, and i'd see through you"--ya gotta watch this movie--at the beginning of his honeymoon driving down the New Jersey turnpike in his TR6 (which i did many a time), he knew he couldn't stand his wife--and then he sees, standing over him in the sunlight, Cybil---OMG
I remember seeing this movie with my mother at the theatre when I was 4 years old, and remember thinking "how could that nice, funny man from Green Acres curse so freely?" As the years have passed by, I now see he was playing a brilliant role and it still gives me chills in my stomach and spine to hear him use such forceful language. I don't recall if Eddie Albert was nominated for an academy award, but he should have been. Superb acting all the way!
He was - for Best Supporting Actor.
It shocked me too to hear him swear freely. I said, "Now, Now, Ollie!"
Check out the maid's face at 1:15 when Grodin say's "There's no insincerity in the potato's"....Hilarious!
Helen Roper, Maddie Hayes, and Ollie Douglas at the table together! LOL!
A classic movie in humor. Great acting
very funny film, actors in this film were grreat
It's kind of weird but the other flick Heartbreak Kid reminds me of is Barry Lyndon. Grodin's character is probably the swarmiest flim-flam man on celluloid, and somehow even less sympathetic and more creepily aloof than Redmond Barry lol. I saw this on Valentine's Day not having really seen any Elaine May prior and it was a hilarious fucking experience
Hey, it's Mrs Roper!
The sliding door at 3:37; why does that remind me of the steel door being slammed shut in the Texas Chainsaw massacre!
Great movie.....hilarious. I had forgotten how handsome Grodin was. (IMO)
That throat clear stopped all the bs right there
It is one of those scenes where you have to watch it several times because one line trips you up and ROFL . When he said ,”But I never heard such a crock of horseshit in my life !”
too funny.
And ... fighting for all the enlisted men and the prejudice they face in all of America's small towns.
Eddie Albert joined the military after he had found success as an actor. He was not required to join and would not have been drafted.
In World War 2, he had saved several lives at the risk of his own.
(Press Read more)
He enlisted in the Navy in 1942 and was discharged a short year later so that he would be able to accept an officer position in the Naval Reserve.
Food you can believe in,,,,
Breaking Bad season 5 brought me here Walter, Jessie & Skyler at the dinner table..very funny riff on this scene
Just look at Cybill Shepherd corpsing at 3:10
cant stop laughing...classic of classics
Is that Mrs. Roper?
Yes.
Classic stuff 😂😂😂😂.
“ Classic 😄
Can't they both have Kelly?
Yeah Vibes .. You're absolutely correct!
This original version is a classic
compared to that remake piece of crap
starring Ben Stiller.
Piece of crap???? I thought the remake was fun to watch, too. Great cast
@AhPhoey You're entitled to your opinion of course but there is definitely a vast difference in quality from this and the remake. The remake was trying to be more typical Hollywood comedies we see now which is over the top gross out overly vulgar stuff while this one is more typical of the great comedies of the era which was more focused on subtlety and character driven humor that can be silly and fun but still mostly intelligent.
I came here for the yummy yummy pecan pie. Where's the yummy yummy pecan pie? I was told there would be yummy yummy pecan pie. RIP CHARLES GRODIN
I'm sorry, movie dialogue today just isn't this clever, funny or humorous. This scene was classic!!!!
Myself.....I've never seen in a califlour....
lol
AhPhoey ... A matter of opinion.
Tell me something. Am I the only one who was on the father's side in that exchange? I mean listen to Lenny and how insufferable he sounds if not pretentious. It was like he was reading off a script. What dad would want this posuer marrying their daughter. Dwayne did well in calling Lenny out on his BS but the attempted bribery was where he fucked up because it gave him the right to claim the moral highground. One also gets the idea that he wanted to keep Kelly a baby but he had to accept her choice to marry and hope she gets wise via her own mistakes while making his low opinion of her fiance clear as crystal. Which is the smarter move.
Yes, you're the only person. IT'S A MOVIE! AND A COMEDY!!
@@stephenfeldman8104 Fair enough. The film took itself way too seriously to be a Comedy.
@@Senate300 I hear you. I mean, what do Neil Simon and Elaine May know about comedy? (Looking at the heavens: Where do these people come from?)
Not sure why you think you're the only one. It is pretty clear that Lenny is a complete full of shit loser who has no idea what he wants. He marries a girl and then on his honeymoon leaves her for a young teenage girl. Then after he stalks and wins her, he starts to get bored again. That doesn't mean others don't have their faults, but Lenny is not being portrayed as a really good guy in this. Also, if you think this is too serious to be considered a comedy then you are simply following the Hollywood joke-a-second formula of the last few decades. Before that, comedies were more of a regular movie with light moments. Nowadays many Hollywood comedies are nothing more than a string of jokes spread out over 90 minutes. Most of them probably really shouldn't be considered movies.
@@stickman1742 I thought I was the only one under the assumption that everyone else roots for whomever the main character is. I'm not necessarily with the jokes a second formula. I just didn't find the Heartbreak Kid all that funny a straight up comedy as. It had more like a drama than comedy where the jokes just about manage to lighten the mood. With that said I think the films pretty cool. Nor did I consider anyone else completely faultless. You get the impression Kelly's marrying Lenny to prove someone to her father but you get the sense she divorce him within months.
