Brooks, along with Dom Deluise and Marty Feldman, drive around seeking big stars for their picture: Burt Reynolds, James Caan, Paul Newman, and Liza Minelli: all victims of the trio's non-stop physical comedy. Harold Gould as a keystone corporate villain and Bernedette Peters as the love interest snag the hijinks a bit, but the action always finds new ground. Not hilarious like BLAZING SADDLES, but you'll be entertained.
