A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

1966
99 min

Directed by: Richard Lester
Cast: Zero Mostel, Phil Silvers, Buster Keaton, Michael Crawford

Movie version of the hit Broadway musical by Shevelove, Gelbart and Sondheim, with manic performances from Mostel, Silvers and Crawford. Lester's self-consciously wacky approach is oh-so-very swingin' Sixties, but it's almost worth it for the touching final film appearance by a determinedly jogging Buster Keaton.
