The Statue (1971)
8/10
One of the funniest, hysterically so that I ever recall seeing.
30 November 2009
I have a huge VHS and Beta tape collection and am very generous about lending but am now reconsidering my past actions. I would love to see this one again as it passed my test that "off colour" MUST be superseded by humor. I don't recall ever laughing more heartily and would love to do so again if I can find a copy. Yes it IS Naughty but it is also Very Nice. Only David Niven was capable of handling a role such as this and still remain the true British Gentleman; even while making somewhat of an ass of himself but always recovering from each silly event. Cary Grant might have pulled it off but his type of good looks would not have filled the bill so well. I am rather surprised that a new version of this never turned up, such a crazy theme!!!!
