F|f: Mr. Warmth, The Don Rickles Project (John Landis, 2007)

24 October 2007

Veteran Landis cuts together a concert film / television history / talking-heads documentary, as much about the twilight of Sinatra’s Las Vegas as the continuing brilliance of its last star, Don Rickles. Hilarious and indispensable. The Q&A with Rickles, Landis, and critic Kent Jones was the highlight of the NYFF.
