Let's not forget his roots. some of his early stuff showed the signs of
greatness.....
Mouse that Roared (after seeing this as a kid I wanted to see all of his
films)
Smallest Show on Earth (all movie theater fans want to find this one)
Ladykillers
I'm Alright Jack
Your Past is Showing (he didn't make enough with Terry Thomas, an underrated
comedian)
And he is the only saving grace of Road to Hong Kong. Great bit.
Take a look at any of his lobby cards and try not to smile. My favorite is
from Mouse that Roared with all 3 of his characters. And the pool scene &
Kato scene in Shot in the Dark. Fun stuff.
