With this all-star Cinerama epic, producer/director Stanley Kramer vowed to make "the comedy that would end all comedies."

directed by Richard Lester
featuring Zero Mostel, Phil Silvers, Buster Keaton, Jack Gilford, Michael Crawford

Director Richard Lester uses the Burt Shevelove/Larry Gelbart/Stephen Sondheim Broadway musical hit as a launching pad for some of his wildest slapstick gaggery.

Cover Girl

Cover Girl (1944) more movies like this

directed by Charles Vidor
featuring Rita Hayworth, Gene Kelly, Lee Bowman, Phil Silvers, Jinx Falkenburg, Otto Kruger, Eve Arden

Thanks to its Jerome Kern/Ira Gershwin/Yip Harburg score and the luminescence of stars Rita Hayworth and Gene Kelly, Cover Girl has taken on a legendary status in recent years. In truth, the film has a banal and predictable premise: a chorus girl (Hayworth) is given a chance for stardom by a wealthy magazine editor (Otto Kruger), who years earlier ...

directed by Alfred E. Green
featuring Phil Silvers, Danny Scholl, Judy Lynn, Jack Albertson

Shot on location in New York City's Winter Garden Theatre, this is essentially a filmed performance of Phil Silver's hit Broadway show in which he plays a moody and egotistical television comic (allegedly patterned after Milton Berle). Trouble begins when the ratings for Jerry Biffle's (Silvers) television show begin to sag. The producer spice up ...

Judy Garland and Her Guests Phil Silvers and Robert Goulet

Judy Garland and Her Guests Phil Silvers and Robert Goulet (1963) more movies like this

This 1963 television performance was meant to be somewhat of a comeback effort for singing and screen legend Judy Garland. Indeed, the short-lived Judy Garland Show was introuduced quickly thereafter. Along with co-stars Robert Goulet, who was at the time reeling from the Broadway success of Camelot, and Phil Silvers, enjoying a similar success ...
