Don Rickles: Alive And Kicking

1st reviewer gave it 3 stars, and I’m sure people who actually saw it in 1972 (like me) would have rated it the same.But if you believe bad shows get better over time if they have enough star talent just for watching great performers in their heyday – this fits the bill. McLean Stevenson & Tim Conway are in the audience. Newhart – Don Adams – Carrol O’Connor are amusing in their cameos. Harvey Korman and Anne Meara always deliver what the script calls for. Julie Prowse is always a wonder to behold.Rickles is Rickles, but there’s clearly an intention to deviate from his obvious persona, so some hit and miss.Not a Laff Riot – but the older you are the more you might like it. Certainly a time capsule…
