Title: "Classy" Fred Blassie the Brilliant
Product review: An absolutely essential picture for any fan of professional wrestling. Andy Kaufman was never much of wrestler (what kind of a man fights girls only to lose?) True, the film starts a bit slowly, but the pace builds in an elegant way, to its finish, a finish that is not expected. "Classy" Fred Blassie - the man who added "pencil-neck geek" to our lexicon - is at his offensive best here. He is a tie to the Golden Age of Wrestling, before Hulk Hogan and the other latecomers. Whether it is puerile comments about "broads", or demonstrating the fine points of using a pre-moistened towelette, Blassie is a master to see at work. I took my girlfriend, not a wrestling fan, to see this picture, with no explanation. She laughed until her sides hurt. On my next movie night i paln to shoe "My Dinner With Andre" before the meal, and "My Breakfast With Blassie" afterwards. Why, O why couldn't Wallace Shawn do some work with Fred Blassie?
