Quotes
John: So, you finally managed to get here. You're late as usual, of course.
Stanley: No, I...
John: Our appointment was for eleven thirty. It's practically noon now.
Stanley: I'm sorry John. Have I kept you waiting long?
John: No. I just got here myself.
Stanley: Oh, well, then I don't feel so bad.
John: That's beside the point. I don't like to be kept waiting and since you're never on time, I always come late on purpose.

Weird!

OK, this is one weird film that I caught very late one night, I only decided to see it because it had Gene Wilder in it, who is one of the funniest men in history. I was totally surprised by how bizarre it was. The plot is about Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder talking and all these people turn into (unseen) rhinoceros'. Later on the story goes from zany comedy to mild horror as our 'heroes' try to stop themselves from turning into rhinoceros'...If you're in a good mood you could find some enjoyment out of this, but if you like your films straightforward then avoid this like the plague.
