Gilda Live

Excellent movie..dont buy from these sellers!!
The sellers on amazon are charging double the price if not more for this great film. Go to [...] and get it for 19.99 and they ship it UPS for free!! Its made on demand and may not play on some players esp. the ones with recorders built in but it plays fine on "play only" devices. Its in widescreen and the picture looks as bright and clean as it did back when it showed in the theaters in 1980. Still just as funny as it was back then!! Gilda radner was a truly talented woman whose life was cut way short when she died of cancer and her smile and humor live on in this film!!

review of original VHS
If you want to understand how seminal and ground-breaking the original SNL cast was, you have to look at the best of the individual players. They were all funny, but Gilda Radner was hilarious, touching, heart-breaking and brilliant. There will never be another like her.

The first cast of SNL was also, in many ways, the first generation to have grown up on TV. Like the kids who grew up with computers, they instinctively understood that TV was its own medium, with its own rules and traditions; it wasn't a movie screen in your living room any more than a computer is a TV that you type on.

And so, they understood what limits to push and what resonated with the generation they shared a time-space with. Gilda was the most sensitive of the bunch...she knew us: she shared our secrets; she knew our deepest fears and our finest hopes. If you can listen to "Honey, Touch Me (with My Clothes On)" without weeping for a lost time gone by, you're either a cold fish or from...

Classic Gilda
I was beyond thrilled to find this Gilda Radner DVD! What a talent this lady was, and this is classic comedy!
