1 | * AluminumChristmasTrees: Ha ha! Ashtrays INSIDE by the elevators IN A HOSPITAL! That's funny! Actually, what's funny is that ''wasn't a joke'' - it was standard [[EverybodySmokes realistic set dressing for a hospital set in the 1970's]]. |
2 | * DancingBear: What, a SilentMovie? In 1976? No way. Gotta see this! |
3 | * HarsherInHindsight: Creator/MartyFeldman's character is named Marty Eggs because Feldman's favorite food was eggs, a result of his vegetarianism. Unfortunately, nobody had warned him that eggs were ''not'' a healthy substitute, being high in cholesterol. This, combined with chain smoking, were a direct cause of his eventual fatal heart attack in 1982. |
4 | * HilariousInHindsight: [[TagLine "The first silent film in forty years"]] ...and it was ''nearly'' 40 years until [[Film/TheArtist the next major one]] came out. |
5 | * OneSceneWonder: "[[Creator/MarcelMarceau NON!]]" |
6 | * SignatureScene: As it easily was and still is the funniest part, the joke of a mime providing the only audible dialogue in the film has been discussed quite a bit. |
