The Sexy Cover Sucked Me In! Don't Be Fooled!
Yes, the sexy girl on the cover does appear in all her glory, but it is not enough to make this film worth while! Bad silly story! Don't be fooled as I was! 'Nuff said?

The 8 faces of Tony Randall equal a fun family film!
2 of 2 found this helpful Long before Eddie Murphy started doing multi-character films(Coming To America, The Klumps, etc), Tony Randall got the ball rolling in this fun fantasy film about an inscrutable Chinese entertainer who is out to teach a small turn of the century (that would 1800-1900s) western town a valuable lesson.
Dr Lao arrives in the small western town of Abalone for basically the purpose of putting on a circus. This proves to be a cover as the people of Abalone are besieged by a ruthless land baron, Clint Stark, who wants to buy up all the land in town. Stark is opposed by newspaper editor Ed Cunningham. While the people are trying to decide, they are treated to Dr Lao's bizarre circus. The circus features many strange exhibits & acts among which are Merlin the Magician (who is very aged & forgetful), the seductive Pan, Medusa, a huge snake, the Abominable Snowman & future teller Apollonius of Tyana as well as a glorified catfish Dr Lao claims is the Loch Ness Monster. Some of the towns people are taught lessons about themselves, some not very flattering, by these performers while it will take the grand finale to really show the people their fate. The film offers a variety of twists & turns to keep you guessing what the final outcome will be & just what Dr Lao is up to.
As the title suggests, Tony Randall plays 7 of these characters from Dr Lao himself to the Snowman, Merlin, Medusa, Apollonius & Pan as well as the voice of the serpent. I said "The 8 Faces of Tony Randall" because he also makes an appearance as himself as a spectator in the grandstand. Star power is deceptive in this film as the only other actors whose names you would recognize are Arthur O'Connell who plays Stark & a brunette Barbara Eden as widowed librarian Angela Benedict, BUT, those who are familiar with old westerns of the 50s & 60s will be in for a treat as there are numerous familiar faces amongst the inhabitants of Abalone.
The special effects are dated but were nominated for an Oscar in their time. Some of the outfits are not very good, but makeup effects are solid, done by Academy Award winning makeup artist William Tuttle who received an honorary award for this picture. This film was also nominated for a Hugo Award.
This is a very fun film that the whole family can enjoy! Randall was brilliant in this film & did a very good job in all his roles. I highly recommend it, but remember that though they were Oscar worthy in their time, the special effects are dismal by today's standards.

Excellent movie worthy of all it awards!
This is one of Kevin Spacey's best films! It is a very good film about a middle aged couple trying to cope with their marriage that is slipping away. Spacey especially is going thru a mid life crisis & dreams of his daughter's cheerleader girlfriend (Mina Suvare) Annette Benning (the wife) was also excellent in this as was Suvare, tho you will find a much different character from her demure "American Pie" character!
