does qualify as underrated, now.
Thanks for reminding me of that pearl. I've got to see it; it's been far too long. Brilliant dialogue.
Follow Ups:
The Hospital is absolutely number ONE on my list too if a comedy - Ok, I laugh, but for all the wrong reasons.
(I just find it "funny" in the way a speech in "The Spy Who Came in From the Cold" comes across, where Richard Burton's Alec Leamas vents in the car to Claire Bloom's Nan Perry about the futility of spy vs spy and the quiet desperation that men gleefully ignore, just prior to their own tragic end. Even then that becomes more hilarious the older I get - weird.)
The Hospital is by far my favorite George C. Scott film.
Diana Rigg is HOT HOT HOT.
A great screenplay from Paddy Chayevsky, very similar to Network.
I've always been a fan of Mr. Scott, even back as far as his "The Flim-Flam Man." That film is certainly not the quality of "The Hospital" but Scott's performance is brilliant and very funny.
"The Hospital", along with "Network" are,imho, two of the finest American films of the 1970s. Both were written, of course, by the amazing Paddy Chayefsky.
Agree, always liked it. Not totally forgotten, though. It pops up on my cable once in a great while.
