Donald Pleasance goes all classical doing this bizarre Jarry play, which I read--a handwritten babble of epic tale-telling.
As a TV movie of sorts, this comes off like Monty Python invading some broadway stage dealing in the English fine arts.
Rubber prosthetics, garish colors, sassy talking, hobo autocracy, and all kinds of great late night entertainment!
The video has the oversaturated glare of Hee Haw and the late night diner jazz of a Tom Waits hallucination. I saw it in England somehow, and I have always wanted to find a legitimate copy.
Someone! Find the tape! Donald Pleasance and Alfred Jarry made a winning mix here.
