Quiz
Eighty-year-old Edward Le Veque, who appeared as the prostitute's customer, was the last surviving member of the original Keystone Kops.

Blooper
The Bruce Dern character is constantly presenting story ideas to Hollywood moguls which they reject as being ridiculous and not commercial - although these plot ideas are in fact the basic story-lines of famous real films of a more recent date, such as "Jaws" and "The Exorcist". One such plot, however, is the basic story of "The Wizard of Oz" - which is taken from one of the most famous works of American children's literature, published first in 1902, and the basis for a popular silent film which would have appeared only a short time before the period of this film. Presumably, no-one connected with "Won Ton Ton" knew about the book or the silent film.

Underrated & Fun!

I never saw Won Ton Ton when it was released (although I was certainly old enough). The reviews were so damning that, in spite of a chance to see some of my favorites (The Ritz Brothers, Joan Blondell, Fritz Feld, Terri Garr and a host of former stars), I put it off until I bought the DVD and played it tonight. Perhaps the direction could have been better; certainly the camera-work wasn't consistent, but we thought it far funnier and more clever than many other 1970s movies that were better-received. The dog (or series of dogs) in the title role was (were) brilliant, even in extended shots. Harry & Jimmy Ritz (who, contrary to the IMDb cast list, WERE billed) showed, 40 years after their prime, why they were comedians' comedians. Art Carney didn't disappoint. I like Madeline Kahn but am not the fan that many are, and rather wish Terri Garr had the opportunity to play the lead. Rob Liebman and Fritz Feld gave topnotch comic performances. And Bruce Dern brought energy and comic sense to his lead role. It was a delight to watch the many former stars who, in a few moments of screen time, still knew how to nail a character and a scene. I wish Joan Blondell, now recognized as one of the finest and freshest actors of Hollywood's studio era, had been given a larger role. Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood isn't a comic masterpiece, but it is far better than its reputation. More important: it is fun!
