More later said that when he read the script he "was profoundly struck by its relevance to my own life, and to the lives of so many actors I had known." However it received limited distribution, being released on a double bill with Lord of the Flies (1963).
Plot
Sacked from his job in provincial rep, actor Chick Byrd moves into digs in London with Julian, a fellow actor. Julian's career soars after a successful screen test, but Chick's meets with continued failure. Mobilised into action by the suicide of a friend, Chick auditions for a TV commercial and finally finds fame. Confident of his talents for the first time, but fearing he may have sold out, Chick leaves London to return to rep.
Despite the title and use of comedians as actors, Sundance festival chief programmer Trevor Groth says that the film is not a comedy, but instead "a provocation, a critique of a culture based at its core around irony and sarcasm and about ultimately how hollow that is."
The first ten minutes of the film was purposely leaked onto various torrent websites with an anti-piracy statement at the end of the video. The resulting publicity made the actual film the most pirated independent film of the year.
The Comedy is an album by American jazz group the Modern Jazz Quartet featuring performances recorded in 1960 and 1962 and released on the Atlantic label.
Reception
The Allmusic review stated "This is the type of album that led many bop purists to criticize the Modern Jazz Quartet (and John Lewis in particular) for being overly influenced by Western classical music".
Myrtle Reed plays secretary to Dennis Price's lecherous casting agent in this clip from The Comedy Man (1964). And it seems he enjoys all the perks of a secretary, with him regularly patting her bottom - so much so that struggling actors Kenneth More and Edmund Purdom can time his routine to the minute when they turn up looking for work!
I had previously uploaded this video before a year ago, but it was blocked recently. Hopefully this time there will be no issue. Myrtle Reed made her screen debut in 1947 in The Shop at Sly Corner, but she may be best remembered as the barmaid in TV sitcom Educated Evans from 1957-58. Her last role was in The Sliiper and the Rose in 1976, and she died in 2007, aged 87.
