Let's Go Crazy

'Crazy' is certainly the word. Short film, supposedly knocked together by Sellers and Milligan with set and persons left from daytime film shooting and is most entertaining. One of many extras on my Blu-ray of Mr Topaze, this short is quite amazing. Set in a small night club with diners and a band, various turns take their turn as it were and the cause of much amusement and wide eyed astonishment to this viewer. Much of the singing is seemingly unreal but pertains to that era of 40s radio that I just about recall from very early years. In between Sellers plays various individuals with greater or lesser success but mostly the former and his Groucho Marx is particularly effective. Milligan plays his straight man for most sketches, very effectively too. But the real astonishment comes first from the male of a mixed pair of singer/dancers who proceeds to spin her around above his head at great speed to be followed by a pair who literally trample and climb and jump upon and over each other. Big pants on display the 'young lady' throws caution completely to the wind and even stands upon the portly guys head at one stage. Sellers is a revelation but some of the support mind boggling.
