I have forgotten the name of a movie I desperately want to see again. It is about a nuthouse. Somehow a connection is made between the nuthouse and a big marketing firm. Next thing you know the nuts in the nuthouse are doing all the concetualzing of marketing plans for big companies. Stars a bunch of B grade 80s Comedians.
Help Please

I bought a Jaguar a couple years after Crazy People came out. Perhaps that movie planted a seed in my subconscious that led to that decision?

Was that the "Yes, I want a handj*b" ad?

Mamamia - yes, that was the ad.

Best moment in the movie:

"I like little boys."

I think my favorite characters were the hello guy and Saab.

I don't like dudley moore and didn't like that movie. he always seems like such an alcoholic to me. but, hey, rest in peace man.

Oreb,

Though he did become most famous for playing a lush in Arthur, by the 90s his speech was definitely slurring and he was forgetting his lines. He had trouble getting roles, and most people assumed he had a drinking problem. It turned out that he had a debilitating brain disease that caused these problems.

Dudley Moore was a funny man, fine actor, plus an accomplished jazz and classical pianist. The end of his life was tragic. Just about everyone abandoned him and he became an invalid. I saw an interview on TV that he did towards the end, and it was wrenching.
