Editorial Review: Product Description: A star-studded comedy classic! Screen legend Sid Caesar teams up with Robert Ryan and the beautiful Anne Baxter in this fast paced, laugh-a-minute farce. Caesar is a bumbling gopher to a mob boss who must recover a fortune in cash stowed in the suit of a corpse! Directed by master showman William Castle, and featuring the first big screen performance of the late, great Richard Pryor. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Total StiffWhatever else his failings as an accomplished filmmaker, William Castle sure as heck knew how to scare undemanding young movie-goers with his slew of Grade B horror pix of the late Fifties-mid Sixties. Unfortunately he's unable to scare up a single laugh with this tedious "comedy" about a schlub who spends lots of time in cemetaries and mortuaries looking for corpse buried with a big wad of mob money. Kids (Castle's main audience) will be bored stiff and most adults wisely won't go ... Read More Rating:  - Lifeless anticsDespite his dazzling comedic gifts, Sid Caesar never had much luck trying to make the leap from television (where he shone brilliantly) to the big screen. THE BUSY BODY is a typical example of his cinematic output. One of the basic problems with the film is the character Caesar plays -- namely, he barely has a character to play.

Read More Rating: - Proof that you CAN take it with youSid Caesar heads an outstanding cast of comedians in William Castle's THE BUSY BODY. (Watch for Richard Pryor in his cinematic debut, as a cop named Whittaker.) SYNOPSIS-- A mob boss (Ryan) believes that his errand boy (Caesar) murdered the "company" bookkeeper (Dana) and stole a large sum of cash. The accused man tries to evade the angry gangster while he searches frantically for the real killer, and for a corpse wearing a suit where the money is hidden. Sid Caeser's ... Read More Rating: - Fun and funnyI agree with the first reviewer. It isn't the funniest mob film, but it is fun. William Castle's primary goal for all his films is to provide entertainment and he succeeds in this one. The variety and diversity of the cast keeps the film going and the ending is stronger than one would suspect. I love Dom DeLuise and Robert Ryan. Richard Pryor demonstrates his comedic acting ability from the get-go. Arlene Golonka is a sexy deviation from her good girl character during her Andy of Mayberry days. Ann Baxter ...
