Film Dope
The World's Greatest Lover
1977
Director |
| Another Mel Brooks-like comedy from Gene Wilder. When a low rent film studio is looking for the next Valentino, Perennial loser, Rudy Hickman (Wilder), seizes his chance at the big time. Swathes of glorious Carol Kane liven an uneven work. Mel's films are enjoying a renaissance at the moment with the younger generation, but will they get the Valentino angle? |
