The late Marty Feldman's most notable directorial effort. The movie features an exceptional portrayal by Andy Kauffman of the Reverend Armageddon...who sports his blond pompador with great authority.
Most notable thing about the movie is the VERY clever writing. Much of the plot action is over the top slapstick, but sometimes the movie gets very sly and smart...especially when Andy is in the spotlight.
Fine funny performances from Peter Boyle and Louise Lasser.
"The meek shall inherit the earth" "Yeah, but only when the strong are through with it."
