Where Does It Hurt?

I remember seeing the previews with my father. It looked REALLY funny, but you know how these things are, seldom do the movies live up the the trailer.

As we were waiting to go into the movie when it came out, the previous audience came out doubled over with laughter. It was so funny, I couldn't believe it! Yeah, the music isn't too good, cinematography was even worse, but the GAGS. I think it is pretty much a period comedy, but the times are coming back to the same kind of things that the film made fun of. Bring it back. Jeff PS, I paid $26 on E-bay for a poor copy of it and do not feel "taken."

You know, the film industry never fails to amaze me, the fact that they are quite willing to throw a lump of money at projects like "Where does it hurt?" Quite possibly it is the worst movie Peter Sellers ever made, and the lowest point he ever experienced in his career. "Where does it hurt?" really is the pits. Badly filmed, badly scripted, incredibly unfunny (a cavity search would produce more laughs!)and a true lesson in how NOT to make a film, I have to give points however to Peter Sellers for trying to do his best. Basically the premise of the film is a hospital run by Corrupt Sellers who is assisted by a team of money-greedy staff who basically try to get insurance money out of all the patients or something. Who knows? You're so busy fast-forwading it that the only rewarding part of it is returning back to your local video store.

My one line says it all. I still think of it a lot, actually I was beginning to doubt it it really existed or if I had mis-remembered the title. It was funny and I must have seen it in the Navy when I watched 2 movies or more a day on Guam in 1974-5. If you find it it is worth watching. J.

Some people have seen The Sound of Music more than 20 times. This is my

Sound of Music. I used to go and see see it whenever it was in a cinema. I also saw it on TV a lot of times. Even taped it once off TV but lost the tape.

I also rented it on video a few times. But I never saw a videotape of it to buy. Now it can't be found for love or money. If he were here, Albert Hopfnagel would find a way of making money from ot.

Probably seen it 25 times now. But I want to own it on DVD. This is, for me, one of Sellers' best performances. Release it, please somebody. Ten-four

I saw this movie when it was first run--in 1972, and it was just what the doctor ordered. At a stressful time in my life, Peter Sellers and crew provided for me a totally mindless romp that had me rolling in the aisle laughing. It may not be high art, but it did have something to say about the medical professions and ethics in general. Mr. Sellers, as always, played the part to perfection. I'll never forget Peter's line, "...damn broad tastes like tuna salad." The supporting cast was top-notch--the overall flavor was much like "Mash," and it is not necessary to point out where that story went over the following years. This movie provided my introduction to Jo Ann Pflug and to Pat Morita, both of whom remain on my personal list of favorites. Don't expect high art. I prescribe that you see it when you need to escape--if you can find a copy. Good luck.
