Excellent Film!!! March 11, 2008

I have been a fan of Madame Diller's for a long time. I had seen the A&E Biography, and I've read her book ("Like a Lampshade in a Whorehouse" which is excellent by the way). So I bought this expecting a nice little DVD.
I was quite surprised at the depth. This film is truly great. It mixes footage leading up to and including her last stage show before retiring from stand-up. This was great, but also interspersed was interviews with Phyllis Diller, friends, and associates. There is also a fairly in-depth tour of her home: her clothes, her painting, her office, the gag file, etc.
One of the most delightful things for me was the interviews with the "Dustbiters." They were Madame Diller's traveling secretaries over the years (most apparently only lasted on the gruelling life of touring for a couple of years). It is a true testament to the person that she is that they all have come together with only warm and loving things to say. Her son Perry Diller also provides his thoughts as well.
The bonus features are great too. There is footage from a Q&A with the director and Madame Diller after a showing of the film at some festival that lasts about 10 minutes. It is entertaining as well as interesting. Also included is a chat with a "Dustbiter" from the 1980's who was not with the other Dustbiters in the film. The films trailer is also included, but by far the best bonus feature is the complete performance of Madame Diller's farewell show. A lot of it is seen throughout the film, but it is really great to watch it in its entirety.
This is a must-have for any fan of Phyllis Diller, but it is also a great buy for people who love to laugh. I laughed a lot watching it!

This movie is a must for anyone who enjoys stand up comedy. Ms. Diller is the Godmother of standup. The film captures her rise to stardom in a man's world. She stayed on top of her game because she kept up with the times. I recomend this film to everyone.

I ordered this DVD for my husband for a gift. He has always loved her as a comedian. We saw her and her DVD advertised on Jay Leno early this year. I was only able to find this DVD on Amazon.com. High quality, quick shipping, average price. Thanks.

This shows how much of a professional Phyllis Diller is. She controls all of her act to make the audience really enjoy her performance. What a trooper!!
