OMZ!1 TCM running A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum!1

[UTUSN]

I've seen it multiple times, and hope for a few more in my remaining age. Along with Mel BROOKS' gems. I should say "Jupiter" instead of "Zeus" here.

As I recall, Richard LESTER was criticized when Forum debutted? Every time I see it now, it's better and better.

1. "Take me. Take me. My body is yours. But you will never have my heart."

"Well, you can't have everything."

2. Domina: A common flesh-peddler in the house next to ours, disgusting!

Senex: Disgraceful, all that revolting flesh. Just next door...

3. Just looked him up in IMDb. He's perfect. & Phil SILVERS locked himself in the trailer

but emerged when he was promptly replaced by the dude who did the Broadway role.

4. Just saw my first "Goof" (with IMDb's help). When Miles Gloriosus

leans on the catafalque, it's supposed to be made of stone, but it jiggles with the pressure.

5. The whole cast, but GILFORD was spectacular n/t

6. Oh, really, GILFORD was blacklisted and Jerome ROBBINS was an a-hole STOOGE

from Wiki:

"Gilford's career was derailed for a time during the 1950s and the McCarthy Era. He was an activist who campaigned for social change, integration and labor unions. He was quite active both socially and politically in left wing causes, as was his wife, actress Madeline Lee Gilford.[1] Gilford and his wife were implicated for their alleged sympathies by the House Un-American Activities Committee during the McCarthy Era. Gilford and Madeline were specifically named by choreographer Jerome Robbins in his testimony to the HUAC.[1][5] Gilford and his wife were called to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1953.[5] The couple had difficulty finding work during much of the rest of the 1950s due to the Hollywood blacklist.[5] Jack and Madeline often had to borrow money from friends to make ends meet.[5]"
