VHS Movie Reviews of Fawlty Towers, Vol. 3 - Gourmet Night/The Kipper and the Corpse/Waldorf Salad [VHS]

Movie Review: More comic genius from Cleese and Co.
Summary: 5 Stars

"The Kipper and the Corpse" has as much fun with a dead body than both Weekends at Bernies. Basil's attempt to conceal the corpse, of course, makes it more visible to the guests. It's hilarious.

In an attempt to upscale the restaurant--and therefore the clientele--Basil decides to hold a "Gourmet Night". The chef he hires consumes as much cooking sherry as he applies to his dishes. You can imagine the results.

It's not just the Germans that Basil outrages. In "Waldorf Salad", Basil is confronted with a pushy American who is obviously being ripped off. By the end of this episode, you too will know how to create your own Waldorf Salad.

Volume Three of the "Fawlty Towers" series is a guaranteed gut-clencher of laughter. Pick it up, along with the other sets.

Movie Review: hillarious British comedy from the 70's
Summary: 5 Stars

Have you ever asked yourself how a hotel deals with finding a dead body in one of the beds? Well the `Kipper and the Corpse' gives the answer as to how Basil Fawlty does so, much to the hysteria of one old women, who keeps running in to the corpse, every time she recovers from the last episode!

"Gourmet Night" involves the disaster caused by the drunken stupor of the Greek chef , Kurt, who has developed an infatuation to a freaked out Manuel , and how Basil tries to keep all the guests happy IN VAIN!

""Waldorf Salad" involves yet another Comedy Of Errors as Basil tries to hoodwink a stinking rich American couple, who have paid him to keep the kitchen open late.

Absolutely hilarious comedy, from Britain in the roaring seventies, with a delightful cast of characters.

Movie Review: "Another bloody one down!"
Summary: 5 Stars

In an attempt to cover-up his food poisoning Basil hides the body away from the other guests, unfortunately an old lady sees the dead body and collapses. "That's great! Another bloody one down, only 23 more guests to go!"

The scene where Basil finds out that the man has been dead for hours so can't have eaten the kipper, thus Basil wasn't to blame, is brilliant. Basil, selfish and ignorant begins jumping around in joy so happy fro himself, all the while a dead body sits in the room.

A brilliant episode.

Movie Review: Over-Average Fawlty Towers Episode
Summary: 4 Stars

In ?The Kipper And The Corpse? everything that can(not) go wrong, does so... as always in this show, although in this case it's even funnier.

Movie Review: Average Fawlty Towers Humour
Summary: 3 Stars

?Gourmet Night? is average. In the classical Fawlty style, and therefore pretty funny.
