This film holds up and frankly gets better with each viewing. I now appreciate what a perfect moment in time it was when all of this came together more than I did when it first opened. The huge cast of gifted comedians spark some of the funniest moments I've ever enjoyed onscreen, so it means even more to me now that many of them have passed on and I realize how much I miss them. Plus the G-rated, idealized view of San Francisco preserved here was always a joy that reminded me of my sunny view of The City as a magical place I loved visiting when I was a kid. Madeline Kahn's performance is the standout for me, but that's not meant to slight anyone else in the cast--this is, for me, (and forgive my use of a cliche) Comedy Heaven.
