Marty Feldman - Six Degrees of Separation (2008)

11 September 2017

Stumbled upon this Marty Feldman BBC documentary on YouTube. Best known as Igor in Young Frankenstein, he was originally a British writer that moved to TV comedy stardom in the 60s, and later moved onto American film before his death at the age of 48.
The documentary's approach was interesting because it tried to frame his life as a bridge between a lot of writers, directors and actors between the two countries. It's unfortunately a somewhat hollow documentary, but it's an interesting enough watch if you're curious about some of the influences of Monty Python or Mel Brooks in particular. 4/10
