A Service for OPB Cornerstone Members and Business Partners

Victor Borge, The Best of: Acts One & Two

Status: Available

Genre: Comedy

Media: 1 DVD(s)

Duration: 1h 30m

OPB Production: No

Close Caption: No

An extended concert performance film first released in 1990; it captures the aging, but still sharp and funny, maestro in concert before an appreciative audience. Borge's signature mix of silly stand-up and classical music is well represented, and many of his most famous bits are performed: his explanation of "Inflationary Language," his demonstration of "Phoenetic Punctuation," a duet with opera singer Marilyn Mulvey (reminiscent of Harpo Marx's similar operatic pairing in Monkey Business), the "Timid Page-Turner" bit (performed with his son), and a frenetic, tightly choreographed two-man piano pairing with Sahan Arzuni.
