Rating:  - Bert Rigby, You're a Gentleman
Idly clicking through channels late one evening, I stumbled upon BRYAF and was alternately intrigued, enchanted and moved to laughter by the adventures and mishaps of this guy who apparently should have been born 50 years earlier. Bert is someone all of us who still like "old" music and dancing can quickly identify with. His repeated failures to succeed in his field of choice are redeemed by his lighthearted determination to keep at it, no matter what--not just to sing and dance for a living, ... Read More
Rating: - High on talent and fun
British actor Robert Lindsay made his debut in "Bert Rigby You're a Fool." This was to be his big film break. Unfortunately the film has been relegated to late night TV and cable. It is a shame because it is a wonderfully charming send up of the glorious MGM musicals. Robert Lindsay, who scored a smash success in London and on Broadway in "Me and My Girl", is a wonderfully talented actor. He sings, dances and has great timing. The film was directed with great care by Carl Reiner. In brief, the plot ... Read More
Rating:  - Calling all Gene Kelly fans!
What a lovely film! But if you are not a fan of Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire, don't bother, you won't like it. Robert Lindsay gives a superlative performance as the amiably foolish though undeniably talented coal miner turned song and dance man, Bert Rigby. One can't help liking Bert: He's optimistic but not annoyingly perky, energetic but not exhausting, and above all else he's a truly honorable gentleman with his heart in the right place. And his 2 minute rendition of the entire film of "Singing ... Read More
Rating: - 5 STAR RATING FOR ROBERT LINDSAY -BUT NOT THE MOVIE
Robert Lindsay is the most talented and versatile actor around. Tony and Olivier awards for singing and dancing in 'Me and My Girl; Olivier award for 'Oliver', British film and TV awards (BAFTAs) for dramatic work in GBH; marvelous perofrmances in BBC's Shakespeare series including his role as Benedick in 'Much Ado About Nothing' which far surpasses anyone else's; and his recent role as Capt. Pellew in A&E's 'Horatio Hornblower' which gave the series the best acting.
Lindsay sings and dances his heart ... Read More
Rating:  - Too much actor, too little script.
This movie, apparently written as a vehicle for the multi-talented Robert Lindsay, could just as easily have been titled, "Bert Rigby, You're Sooooo Precious". Watch Robert Lindsay as he does Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelley and the Keystone Cops. At the same time he is charming every female in sight, wearing muscle shirts, singing duets with the charismatic Ann Bancroft, baby sitting a deserted young boy and playing hero during a bank robbery. Hmmmmm. I began to suspect ... Read More
