...Ah, those wacky 70's......

I'm a George Segal fan. I never pass up a chance to tout Where's Poppa? I rewatched it recently, and though it is dated in that '70's way you well describe, I still fall in the floor laughing,

George Segal, Manhattanite, suffers a deadend job and lovelife largely because of his promise to keep his widowed, scatterbrained/delusional mother (Ruth Gordon) out of a nursing home. His married brother (Ron Leibman) is reluctant to help because he sees mom in a different, less helpless light.

When sexy Trish Van Devere comes into the picture for Segal, promises and self-control begin to crumble. Ron Liebman's encounters with a gorilla suit and Central Park muggers is hilarious, in a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World kind of way.

Also features the versatile and underrated Vincent Gardenia. Directed by Carl Reiner.
