Mr. Warmth, The Don Rickles Project Series: The 45th New York Film Festival [Sep 28 - Oct 14 2007] Director: John Landis, Country: USA, Release: 2007, Runtime: 89 John Landis’ lively, star-filled, fittingly uproarious documentary is a terrific portrait of a bygone era (some keywords: schtick, Miami, Shecky) and most of all of a man named Rickles, a giant who continues to stride among us mortal lowlifes at the age of 81, his timing deadlier than ever. Rickles…the mere mention of his name strikes mirth-filled terror in the hearts of fellow comics and actors, not to mention overweight men with bad toupées. When the festival committee saw this movie, they heard us laughing all the way in Jersey. We know you’ll like it too…you hockey puck. Preceded by The Boxing Lesson: A father shows his son what it takes to be a man. Alexandru Mavrodineanu, Romania, 2007, 12 min.
