Ours is watching A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum. No body else thinks it's so funny.


I actually watched it as a stage production. I have never seen the film beyond this clip.

Hard to believe that Sweeney Todd was from the same man.

There are many Sondheim productions around Chicago. The last one that I saw was A Little Night Music.


Watched it for the first time today.

Horny men + women being the butt of every single joke. As if it was written by a horny teenage boy. Sure it’s the product of its time but it’s for the good “they don't make films like that anymore”


But surprisingly true to the actual Roman source material (it is basically several comedies by Plautus stitched together). Romans had a rather crude sense of humor by today's standards.
