When I told him it starred Zero Mostel (a very skilled comedian) he answered "Never heard of him."<P>I suppose that's a reasonable response, considering ol' Zero kicked off before many of you were born. I therefore decided to provide a public service by recommending a few movies he was especially good in.<P>If you're not interested, please don't reply. Maintain the illusion that someone might actually find this interesting, huh?<P>The first one I recommend only advisedly. It was a really bad movie, but had a truly hilarious scene where Zero Mostel portrays a preacher (Reverend Pious Blue) who delivers an incredibly absurd reading of Numbers 21-30 (King James Version). The movie was "<B>The Great Bank Robbery</B>".<P>Another (my favorite, but not necessarily his best) was the same as the title of this thread: <A HREF="http://us.imdb.com/Plot?0060438" target=_blank>"<B>A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum</B>"</A>. The plot is complicated, but entertaining, especially the scene with Lycus, the slave dealer (who specializes in beautiful women!)
