Title: Excellent Black Comedy & Everyone Knows An Albert
Product review: This is a great black comedy because everyone knows someone who is, to some observable extent, just like Albert Spica: Rude, crude, coarse, common, pretentious, overbearing, bossy and know-it-all. Michael Gambon dominates his every scene with an uninhibited gusto that imbues the viewer with open-mouthed, what-is-he-going-to-do-next, awe. I gave this film to a friend who is, within legal constraints but completely unfettered by any sort of societal propriety, just like Albert Spica. The guy phoned next day, absolutely appalled that I would suggest he behaves in a similar fashion. Next day, though, he called back and confessed somewhat meekly, yes, "I guess I do get like that, sometimes when I'm drinking."It's worth having this movie just to pay homage to any Albert Spicas in your life. And it certainly wouldn't hurt to show it to them, to show them how they come across to the rest of the civilized world.
