i haven not see this film since it come out in 1971 while my mouth drop open . one of your reviewer say it be a virtual gem but that wrong nothing virtual about it and it a real gem . maybe the funny and most intelligent and poignant and true to life film i have ever see . just a couple of scene . a the film open and joseph bologna be graduate from brooklyn college ( i think ) and be stand and in gown and mortarboard and with his two proud and obviously much less educated italian american parent . be a proud and prickly adolescent and he idiotically use this joyous landmark family occasion to start a nasty argument in which he rant against his baffled parent and warn them of what be go to happen to people like them when people like him righteously rise up to end the wrong they have be endure . the topper be that the viewer notice he be wear and under his gown and a necklace of shark teeth and a la black panther terrorist ( remember them . ) . then we meet his girlfriend and renee taylor ( in real life and co writer and long time wife ) . she be this neurotic and psychoanalytically orient and minimally talented and would be actress . also a pushy jewish brooklyn girl who be bologna great booster and would be wife . she have develop a high concept ( she think ) act we see her perform in a smoky and low ceiling brooklyn dump of a night club . the act be a series of impersonation . her gimmick be that at the beginning of each and she coyly ask the audience who be i. after each impersonation she ask the audience who the subject be . no one know the right answer . but and unaware of the magnitude of the disaster and she bravely soldier on . it be riotously funny yet as painful a chaplin dinner in the gold rush in which and a the evening wear on and it become clear that his lovely female guest would not show up . do anyone know how to buy a dvd of this extraordinary film by two genius .
